Safety caps are rated Y1 and Y2 for transformer primaries and X1 or X2 for across the line AA5 type radios. Some are combinations. I buy the X1-Y2 then I'm covered. Just two voltages to worry about, 120 and 220, it's built in to the designation. Since you live in the US, either one is good.

Yeah Mike, I just put in an order to Mouser and it has ten 24.6 mfd caps.
