Re: Is samxon gr suitable for psu use?

"I" is always spelled in uppercase.
Samxon "GR" is always spelled in uppercase.
"PSU" is always spelled in uppercase.
"Can i use i to recap psu?" is not a proper sentence.

"I am" is shortened as "I'm", not "Im".
There is no such thing as a 330u capacitor, it is a "330uF" capacitor.

There, anything else I can help you with?

I want to know whether a SamXon GR 330uF 35V capacitor is suitable for use in a PSU!

Re: Is samxon gr suitable for psu use?

Does Samxon ever capitalize the X, I think that is only CapXon. J/K :P

Does anyone actually know the answer?

Thats not it

Re: Is samxon gr suitable for psu use?

"That's".

Have you looked up the spec sheets for the GR series? While I don't know the answer to your question, you'd probably need to know the specs for the series as well as the location (which circuit) in the power supply you will be using it in.

Re: Is samxon gr suitable for psu use?

I dont know the spec sheet. And the numbers wouldnt mean mch to me. Are GR caps low esr?

Re: Is samxon gr suitable for psu use?

Unless I'm blind (which isn't totally out of the question), I don't see a GR series from Samxon:

Come on, everyone, stop annoying shovenose over the typos. We all make them.

Re: Is samxon gr suitable for psu use?

Ok. So im sorry for nitpicking on topcat. Now please help me.

@c_hegge: THANK YOU!!!

Re: Is samxon gr suitable for psu use?

There is such thing as a CapXon GR (). It looks like CapXon GR = CapXon GS.

CapXon and Samxon sometimes share series names (I have a feeling that they are somehow related). If CapXon GS = SamXon GS, then it is an 85*C cap. These are always general purpose and not for PSU use.

My theory could be worng, though, so wait for someone more experienced like PCBONEZ or Toasty to chime in.

Also, shovenose, could you post a picture of the cap?

[shovenose]

Re: Is samxon gr suitable for psu use?

I cant post pictrures. Sorry. But. Have some more caps to get info on wheher theyre ok for psu use.
Rubycon yk, rubycon zl, samxon gr, sanyo ca, nichicon vr, ost rls. Taicon hf, lelon rga. I need to know if these have low esr, and are good for psu, mobo , tv, etc.
Thanks!

That will be fine. Most PSU caps in the secondary aren't ultra low ESR and they don't need to be. Most are typically a more 'general purpose' 105* cap. Using ultra low ESR caps in some PSU's can cause strange behavior. Samxon GT and RS series I've found to be ideal for PSU's.

Re: Is samxon gr suitable for psu use?

I will buy that-if 330uf35v is indeed what i need. So what esr # is good for psu and how do i find out?

[Topcat]

Re: Is samxon gr suitable for psu use?

The only way you'll know is by tracking down the spec sheet for the original cap that has failed. Not knowing that, I wouldnt have any idea.....but of the many many hundreds of PSU's I've recapped, I don't foresee it being a problem.

Re: Is samxon gr suitable for psu use?

Ps if i use a cap with too good esr (low) can i mount it away a bit with long leads to increase esr?

[Topcat]

Re: Is samxon gr suitable for psu use?

no.

[shovenose]

Re: Is samxon gr suitable for psu use?

But i thought it increased the esr. Someone said that in another thread? No?
