Aluminum SMD capacitor replacement

05-08-2023, 09:30 AM

Hi badcapers,

I am quite puzzle, I am trying to figure out what will be the best replacement for my SMD caps. Knowing that I have no info on the brand and the specifity of the caps, I am quite unsure about what to use, should I go back to SMD aluminum caps or radial caps? Any recommendation for a SMD type to use?

I have included a picture with the current ESR on each cap, you can see that some are pretty dangereously out of specs.

Title:
Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition

Description:
During maintenance on an RTX 2070 SUPER Founders Edition, I found a capacitor lying on my desk after reassembly.
I did not notice it detaching, so I am unsure of its original location on the PCB.

Procedure performed:
- Removed backplate
- Cleaned heatsink and PCB with isopropyl alcohol + soft ESD brush
- Reapplied thermal compound
- Reassembled card

Observed behavior after reassembly:
- GPU powers on and operates normally under...

Where can I get compatible capacitor for replacement?

by artvandalai

Blew the capacitor on my analytical balance scale using the wrong power adapter. I need help finding a replacement compatible capacitor to buy. Will any 100uf 40v capacitor work as a replacement?

klipsch kda-500 amplifier suitable power supply capacitor replacement ?

by r2digital

I have a klipsch kda-500 that would turn on and allow me to get into the web management but it was picking up a lot of noise from audio sources so i decided to replace the smd caps on the power supply along with radial one. Some one was in here before me and they basically burned the bottom side of the traces off for the radial cap but i was able to repair it without any real problem. I thought i did a good job sourcing out replacement caps but apparently not and now i can't get the power supply to turn on it just constantly try's to keep turning on. Attached is a picture of the power supply before...

Capacitor Replacement Verification

by airlinetech

I've been reading this forum and think I've picked out some replacement capacitors, but wanted to double check with somebody else to verify my sanity 😆.

Discontinued Capacitor looking for Replacement

by rwkish

Capacitor has been discontinued (EGXF101ELL331MM20S) all of the replacements I have found have are smaller than 0.709" Dia (18.00mm). I would like to use the same size or at least close to the same size Capacitor. 19mm would be too big as they would touch and not be able to through hole mount. Tia...
