I searched, everywhere, including this forum. I can't seem to find them anywhere.
Most are 11mm tall. What is considered "low profile"???
My head is going to explode.
Does anyone have a source?
A way to search? Low profile gives no returns.
The low-profile caps I have are just under 6mm (can't make out the brand mark), but these Panasonic's are listed as 5mm length. Length is what you want to search, and it seems that around 5mm height is what you need to be "low profile"

IDK if this link will work, but here's the search I did:
https://www.mouser.com/c/passive-components/capacitors/aluminum-electrolytic-capacitors/aluminum-electrolytic-capacitors-radial-leaded/?diameter=4%20mm~~6.3%20mm&length=5%20mm&voltage%20rating%20dc=16%20VDC~~450%20VDC&instock=y&rp=passive-components%2Fcapacitors%2Faluminum-electrolytic-capacitors%2Faluminum-electrolytic-capacitors-radial-leaded%7C~Voltage%20Rating%20DC%7C~Diameter
Yeah Mouser has been go to. Anything in particular that I might have kicking around?
Another crazy long link. Anything between 5 and 7mm length is what you want. But, also be careful of the larger values. 100uF low profile gets pretty chunky.

Low ESR is a different matter. However, I do have a link for a low profile low ESR cap I've used often!!

I've noticed more caps marked as low impedance. Are those the same as low esr?
I tried to read up about ESR and there is a math equation that includes a bunch of stuff. Resistance is part of it. There is TAN with a squiggly icon after it which is an indicator. I guess it matters what the circuit is around it... I don't know.

Thanks Gordo, I think I got it sorted...

That is a great link thanks Jessenator! I'm gonna save that and stock up.

Thanks Brian, your link helped me reverse engineer Mousers search engine. Then after getting things one piece at a time, searching and ordering...I noticed your link to the shopping cart in the docs. Figures!!... hehe 😜
