Do you got Evercon datasheets ?

RS-Components have some too and so should Farnell

@PCBONEZ
Thanks for your pm - I will have a look at the Panasonic FM.
Are they easy to get on Ebay ? I see they are not sold here on badcaps netshop.

Digikey carries them.
I think Mouser does too now.

Re: Do you got Evercon datasheets ?

The datasheets I got were from a WebArchive copy of http://www.gsc-cap.com/ from 2004 - does that seem old enough?

Which archive were you able to access data sheets at?

Yes.
They made the LE and RE series from sometime in the 90's until they went *poof* [or at least their site did] in 2005.
Both of them sometimes had the series marked and sometimes not. Had to go by the colors.

Then in '07 Evercon showed up at http://home.so-net.net.tw/gsccap/NEW/e-p1.htm.
It showed both Sacon and Evercon info for a while.
Then that site went *poof* in 2008 - just about the time the crap FZ series were getting famous.

Just a trivia
GSC full name = GEN SALES ELECTRONIC CO., LTD

Re: Do you got Evercon datasheets ?

That cap probably dates back to when GSC only had two series and they went by the sleeve color.
RE was Green.
LE was Black.
I think you have an LE there.

PCBONEZ - You are the man!

Re: Do you got Evercon datasheets ?

Now that we're on the topic of this defunct manufacturer, I have a "GSC" cap, which uses a similar namesake to this Evercon cap, and I would love to know it's official specification:

"E5NK", 16V 470uF.

Now that I've seen the picture....
That isn't an NK series.
E5NK is the date code.

LE was Black.

Re: Do you got Evercon datasheets ?

I'm not seeing anything that makes sense as a cross reference.
They make caps to order so presumably who ever orders can have them marked with their own series code.

Capsun's products list.

Re: Do you got Evercon datasheets ?

Maybe.
I'll find the link. It isn't straight forward.

Re: Do you got Evercon datasheets ?

Is it possible to have a non-polar capacitor on a motherboard? Maybe for the sound subsystem? Though it is right next to the PCIe x16 port.

The purpose of non-polar caps is to be able to take full rated voltage in either direction.

I haven't seen a situation on a mobo that needed that but that doesn't mean none exist.

If you can draw out the schematic for that section you should be able to figure out if the polarity can change direction.
If it can't then you don't need a non-polar cap.

Re: Do you got Evercon datasheets ?

You think Capsun might have the spec sheets?

Re: Do you got Evercon datasheets ?

Apparently GSC, Evercon, Sacon, Capsun, Samwha, SamYoung.. are all the same thing

No

GSC=Evercon=Sacon
Not a manufacturer, just a distributor.
They had their caps made elsewhere and had their name put on them.

Capsun was their OEM supplier. [The actual manufacturer.]
Capsun supplies some other CH & TW brands as the OEM. [I think including some OST.]

SamYoung is Korean and not related to them other than distribution.
Samwha is also not related to them other than distribution.

Joint ventures are usually just distribution networks.
They don't make each others caps but they sell each others caps.

Re: Do you got Evercon datasheets ?

You're right. The dimensions are wrong. The Capxon NK is 10x16 and the Jamicon is 12.5x25. Mine is 8x11.5.

But still I can't help but wonder, the 330uF 6.3 Capxon NK is 8x11.5. If I had the datasheet for this motherboard, would it indicate whether a bipolar cap should be placed there?

Re: Do you got Evercon datasheets ?

samyoung is gsc?

No

Re: Do you got Evercon datasheets ?

Is it possible to have a non-polar capacitor on a motherboard?

Not likely. All i've seen have a large NP printed on them, and are significantly larger than a polarized cap of the same value (that's normal since they are two caps in one).

Re: Do you got Evercon datasheets ?

How can I check if my GSC cap is non-polar? I'm asking because I find two interesting references to an "NK" series capacitor one from Capxon and one from Jamicon, both of which are non polarized.
