Capxon KF replacement

[neurotox]

Hello,

I'm currently searching to replace capacitor to do my first recap for replacing 2 Capxon KF in a power supply for a LCD display (viewsonic vp930b)

I have search on Newark for similar specs.

Now I have found 2 possibilities with higher Ripple and lower impedance.

The two options I have found have the same specs and are available so I want to know if I should just chose randomly or if I have forgot to check something.... I don't really know the brand for capacitor so maybe one have a better reputation...

Spec:
In all case:
-1000uF
-16 v
-105 C
-Ripple at 105 C - 100 khz
-Impedance at 20 C 100 khz
-Size: 10*20

Original capacitor:
-Capxon KF
-Ripple: 1350 mA
-Impedance: 0,065 ohm

option 1:
-RubyCon ZL
-Ripple: 1820 mA
-Impedance: 0,023 ohm

option 2:
-Chemi-Con KZE
-Ripple: 1820 mA
-Impedance: 0,023 ohm

Thanks,
Neurotox

That would be KZG/KZJ series, not KZE.

United Chemicon KZE and Rubycon ZL are equivalent. The Rubycons may be more expensive, but they are Rubycons after all... High quality stuff .

Correct...
Nothing wrong with KZE and they are equivalent to ZL.
ZL are -supposedly- higher quality. No actual proof of that. Just opinion.
If I had to order either way I'd get ZL.
The black ZL look so much better than ugly green or brown KZE.
But, if I have some KZE handy I wouldn't order ZL instead.

Re: Capxon KF replacement

Agreed. There is nothing wrong with KZE and I have used them in repairs before, but rubycon are a better regarded brand
