i may know who made the TMS caps

[RukyCon]

before we start let me quickly tell you that this is based of evidence that i found that may or maynot be true

now i know i may be 11years late but who cares [or maybe no one cares anymore who made the tms caps]

now i looked at every brand including the highest end japanese ones to the cr@ppy low end chinese ones and i noticed one brand which had markings very similar to the TMS markings and the same vent

now like i said i'm not sure if anyone cares anymore
so i may leave it here until i see someone who still cares

i know it's a stupid thing to do but i don't feel like saying it if no one cares
i will wait a few days to see if people will be interested in seeing it

The closest match I can find on that site, besides the aforementioned caps themselves, is Samsung/Semco, as the barb wire vent and sleeve markings are practically the same. I noticed that these caps have only the series printed on them and not the manufacturer (unless the TRB series shows otherwise), probably to protect the crapacitor brand who actually made that old but spectacularly craptacular garbage.

Re: i may know who made the TMS caps

Re: i may know who made the TMS caps

The older TMS series capacitors didn't, AFAIK. Care to divulge who the troublemaker from yesterdecade was?

Re: i may know who made the TMS caps

i did not know who made the TMS caps until one day i open up an old feit electric CFL i removed the 22uf cap because i thought it looked familiar
(the TRB cap) and i noticed that the marking on the cap we're identical to the TMS caps except for 2 things

#1 the letters (TRB VS TMS)

#2 it had a brand name on it

and the name on it was







the TMS caps are likely to be made by samsung
of course there is a slight chance that some other company could be using the same kind of print on their capacitors as samsung (let's not get into that )

but yes i do think that samsung made the TMS capacitors

Re: i may know who made the TMS caps

Oh, so it was Samsung who made those crap caps. Figures. Samsung was never a great brand. Their electrolytic division was acquired by Samwha in October 2002 (Nichicon's Korean subsidiary since December 1973). Then, some few years later, Samwha started churning out a ton of crap low impedance caps, which brought many a LCD TV to their knees. Hmm wonder why?

That's why i don't use samwha too often.
