    Nichicon/FPCAP L8s in Aus?

    I've been trying to source some nichicon L8 (or other) 1000uF 6.3v 8mm polies (I REALLY wanna see how they do in place of 1000uF 6.3v lytics on mothebroards, especially after my success on the netvista), but there's one problem - Topcat doesn't have them, RS doesn't have them, egekecu/PCMCS doesn't have them and neither does farnell/element14. It seems the only place I can find them is digikey, but I don't really fancy paying $30-40 in shipping for some caps. So, does anyone know of an alternative source (or would topcat like to fill the void? )?
    I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

    No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

          He doesnt have them either, although I'll try his 820uF nichicon LF if no one else chimes in.

              Capacitor Diarrhea - Nichicon PL Series
              by DrewPhillips
              Hello All, I have on the bench a couple of PSU's which have some failed Nichicon PL series caps. They didn't "puke" their guts through the top, but instead "diarrhea'ed" corrosive brown electrolyte through the bottom, down the legs and onto the board. On one cap, the electrolyte rotted the cap right off the board leaving 2 little stubs, and also corroded a trace on the foil side.

              The PSU's are Power-One MAP series and are ringing-choke topology. The semiconductors have date codes in 1993. The PSU's were used in a commercial application, fan-cooled. They had failed...

              Mid/late 80's Nichicon Yellow Caps
              by nick3092
              I recently acquired a set of Bose Roomate speakers from the mid to late 80's. Basically the right speaker cabinet is completely passive, and the left one has the power transformer and amplifier circuit in it. Out of curiosity, I opened it up to see what the circuit looked like. Looks like they used all Nichicon VX (2x 4700uF/16v for smoothing off the bridge rectifier), a couple random Nichicon SE series sprinkled on the board, and what really caught my eye - 2 yellow sleeved Nichicon caps (both 1uF/50v with no real series marking. Below are pictures of the caps. The only thing not shown in these...

              Is there any datasheet for nichicon RT(M) series?
              by chth96
              A few days ago,I destroyed one of my japanese retro game console by pluging it to 220v outlet.
              https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...e-been-blew-up

              and I finally fixed​ this retro game console by soldering varistor and glass fuse.

              But I noticed that When I measure voltage of PSU's 5pin connector, it is 8.80-9.07v, 5.13v,3.40-3.48v,GND,GND instead of its rated voltage of 9v 5v 3v GND GND.
              I have spare console...

              The switch has served me for 10+ years (was new when I bought it). It's a nice switch with connections on the back which makes for quite a clean desk. Reason for taking it apart was that the cooling fan was noisy so I expected it to be dirty/dusty inside and the need to order a new fan. What I found was that it was very dirty/dusty and some electrolytic capacitors which needs attention. There are 3 capacitors which needs to be replaced but the ESR on some of the other ones might be bad as well so I think I'll replace them all. Original...

              EV dsp,replace the nippons lxz with nichicon fw ?
              by spiros.p
              Hi guys.I have two EV dsp processors and before two years i do full recap to both. The units have before recup thousands hours running.On output input coupling caps (16 pieces) i solder nippon lxz series 100mf 63v (this time i don't have other stock) i know is low esr caps.Last week have found and order nichicon fw standard audio series.Is a good reason to replace the nippons lxz with nichicon fw ? The units get better sound? Or get worse?Thanks for any advice.
