Low ESR capcitors are suitable for motherboards, graphic cards and other circuits. The lower the ESR, the higher the grade. (In the following table, the lower a capacitor is placed, the lower the ESR, the higher the grade.) Nichicon NCC Rubycon SANYO Remarks VZ KMG YXA MV-CZ 105C General Purpose PW LXZ - MV-CX Miniature, Low ESR HE KY YXG MV-CA K6, K6-2, P2, P3 grade HD KZE ZL MV-WX K7, P3 grade HV KZH ZLH - Extra long life, miniature, Low ESR HM KZG MBZ MV-WG K7, K8, P4, P4+ high quality grade HN KZJ MCZ - Ultra Low ESR HZ - - - Lowest ESR of all electrolyte capacitors Panasonic is not listed because of their low market share and different specifications! ____________________________ My SAMXON Capacitors Database HERE!! X-CON is a new brand for SAMXON's Polymer Capacitors. Last edited by Big Pope : 12-22-2005 at 10:59 PM.

I second that - it's a good idea.

The various series names may be confused by some - and such a table provides an obvious, easy way to identify 'equivalent' models by ESR, inter-brand.

My thinking too... Of course I have no idea if this very list is accurate or not, there are a few more lists like this one buried here somewhere...

(Chemi-con, Nichicon, Panasonic/Matsushita, Rubycon, and Sanyo).
