Need info on Rubycon YXC caps

[berniedd]

I'm looking to use Rubycon caps for PSU and mobo repair. I got them from ebay, and they look genuine, good external appearance. They are 3300 uf, 10v caps and marked as YXC and (what I think is) a date code T9715. I've looked at the Rubycon website and I can't seem to find any info about this series.

I'm also looking at a bunch of Nichicon KY series. Again, Nichicon website doesn't list them. Discontinued series perhaps?

Your Comments?

Re: Need info on Rubycon YXC caps

Those YXCs are 15 years old (a good reason not to buy them, unless you want to re-form them) and not very low impedance by modern standards (not suitable for use in a modern product, except possibly as a good quality GP part). KY is a United Chemicon series, fairly modern and decent. But that they are listed, apparently, as made by Nichicon suggests they may not be genuine.
