Counterfeit sanyo caps?

Re: Counterfeit sanyo caps?

I have maybe 15 misc Supermicro boards in stock and except for Polymers they are all Sanyo.
Yes, Sanyo was occasionally sloppy with the sleeves.

Re: Counterfeit sanyo caps?

Ok so they ARE genuine. But now im confused. Arw they or are they not genuine?

I don't know.
As I said before Sanyo told me flat out they only use a K vent.
The person that told me this was the Lead Application Engineer for Sanyo USA, West Coast.

The conversation was specific to Sanyo WG.
At the time I assumed it applied to their other series'.

I still have his name, email, address, and phone number if anyone cares to ask for clarification.
I don't think he'd bother answering anyone since Sanyo dropped out of the electrolytic caps market a while back.

I've only seen the >< vent in cheap-crap devices where I wouldn't expect to see Jap caps.
Personally I don't think they are legit Sanyo.
OTOH, I haven't seen any bloat.

I have these Sanyo caps, dia 10mm. has K vent, dia 12.5mm has >-< vent.
I don't know they are fake or not, but look good.

Re: Counterfeit sanyo caps?

I noticed some of the counterfeiters have a bad habit of not changing the date code from size to size even when they change the vent style.

Selling several different sizes with the exact same date code is suspicious in the first place.
When those date codes match the code on the confirmed counterfeits [with a different vent] I got something like 2 years ago it's more than just suspicious.

That code is: S.E.65

Also look at the height of the character V [for volts].
On legit Sanyo the character is the same height as the number characters.
On some fakes the V is shorter than the numbers.

Thanks in advance.

Probably not, as suncon is (or was until sanyo got out of the electrolytic business) the original maker of sanyo caps.

Price makes me wonder though. $20 for 200pc and it's in Hong Kong

What shape is the vent? If it's the same as the ones in my previous post, then they are probably genuine.

They don't show the vent. That pic is all they have on ebay.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the "Get it fast" region of Hong Kong.
