Wow, i know this matter from here only today. I never heard this matter from them or market in previous period. I guess Samxon's brand is growing up now, it is a good news.

All guys, don't worry. My Samxon caps are sourced from Man Yue Electronics Co., Ltd. DIRECTLY. There is absolutely no fake caps if anyone buy the Samxon caps from me.

Thank you for clearing that up Joe. I get my Samxon caps from Big Pope as well, and I can assure you they are genuine.

Well, as the saying goes, counterfeiters don't usually counterfeit $3 bills. Hopefully this means that Samxon products are good enough to be worth counterfeiting.

Instead of all the time these fraudsters spend copying other products, they should invest in R&D and offer something decent themselves

There is some guy from China selling Panasonic "FL" caps. I don't find any reference to series FL in the literature.

hmm... i found Panasonic FL series caps on one of my mainboards...

ECS 915P-A Rev. 1.2 (intel 915 chipset, LGA775)

http://upload.wozzap.de/up/FL1.jpg
http://upload.wozzap.de/up/FL2.jpg

they look genuine to me... even the T-vent. and they work fine
weird that they aren't mentioned anywhere (like bgavin said) o.O

edit: they were on the board when i got it. a mix of pannys for the whole VRM area and the rest is full of small OST RLS Series..

I acquired an MSI board, MS-7210 v3.0, 945GM2H-F.

This board is populated entirely with Panasonc FJ and FL.

Q1: does anybody have a data sheet for FL?

Q2: should these be recapped with MCZ?

That is what I wanted to find out. The ESR numbers are not particularly low for the ones I can identify. I don't have any datasheet for FL, so no clue as to what the ESR values are.

I will put up some photos.
