    CapXon capacitors quality

    Several current power supply units are coming with CapXon capacitors, which have been meaning of explosions not long time ago, and I wonder how good the quality of them lately and if there is any relationship between the problems with this brand electrolytic capacitors with solid capacitors of the same, that I noticed in some power supply units manufactured by FSP.

      Capxom are the new Fuhjyyus in my opinion. Very bad quality.

          They are also used in CWT-based Antecs alongside Fuhjyyu caps.

          My True 430 1.0 purchased in October, 2003 has mostly Capxon.

              CapXon capacitors quality
              Plain and simple: there's none.

              I regularly get 2-3 year old Fortron Source / FSP based PSUs (especially be-quiet (with their nonexistant airflow) and Zalman) with most of their crapxons completely blown. The non-standard (not in datasheets) 8mm secondary side ones are a total painus in the anus to find good replacements for.. no one seems to make them! And there isn't enough room for more than one or two 10mm caps in the whole bunch..

              In LCD monitors, they die even faster..

                  Better than Fuhjjyu, worse than Teapo, Ltec, OST etc.

                  CapXon primaries will probably be ok though. I'd trust Teapo primaries more.

                      Thanks for the replies, but on the polymer-based capacitors (which I stupidly called as solid capacitors) manufactured by CapXon, they also have problems? A polymer-based capacitor can explode?

                          Polymer CapXons will probably find some way to fail. Polymer caps have similar lifespans to electrolytics (2000-7000 hours typ); but the difference is polymer caps will simply fail with no signs, whereas electrolytics usually bulge.

                              There's a reason why they're called CrapXon...

                                  After updating motherboard capacitors, what to do next (Asrock K7VT2, SOLTEK SL-75FRN2L)
                                  by dragon3x
                                  Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
                                  power on.

                                  Here are some examples :

                                  than 6.3 V.)

                                  I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.

                                  hey all, iv got my favourite battery charger here which iv had for many years probably 15 years now or maybe even more. it still works good but thought id open it up to clean the dust out of it, lots of dust inside but now its clean and noticed 4 capacitors inside it and wondered if i should replace them.
                                  it has inside:
                                  2 x 47uf 16v caps 105c branded as Su'scon (lol sounds sus to me)
                                  2 x 470uf 16v LZ105c branded as G.Luxon

                                  not heard of these brands are they any good?

                                  iv attached photos of the charger and the board inside for an idea on the type of...

                                  Backlight strip quality, Amazon vs Ebay vs ShopJimmy. Is there really a difference?
                                  by DXseekerMO
                                  Hello everyone!

                                  Recently I've noticed that some ShopJimmy backlight strips don't have double-sided tape installed upon them when an application calls for it, and I must purchase the tape separately. In a recent chat conversation with a customer service agent I told them if this tape wasn't applied when it was called for I would begin to consider ordering my backlight strips elsewhere. It looks like this time may have come.

                                  I recently got a TCL 65S4 with bad backlights. After looking at the SJ listing here: https://www.shopjimmy.com/tcl-jl-d65...365as-m-led-ba...

                                  Are there any datasheets available for Elna RJG capacitors?
                                  by Ady2017
                                  I have a 2007-era Panasonic VHS combo that is full of of Elna RJG capacitors. I am trying to test the capacitors to diagnose the machine and then select replacement capacitors but I can not find any datasheets for them. I did find a Elna catalogue from 2007-2008 but there is no mention of this capacitor series. Where these specially made for Panasonic and so not made available to the public? Any ideas what to find out what the ESR values should be without the datasheets? They are all between 10V and 50V and 47uF and 1800uF. None are leaking or bulged but I know that they need to be tested to be...

                                  Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...
