    Cap brands

    I've heard on this forum a lot about Nichicon caps, and about Nippon Chemi-Con. Are these the same brand of caps, or are they different manufacturers?
    It just sounds to me like Nichicon is a compression of Nippon Chemi-Con

    Also, if you know identical caps that go by different brand names, or caps that have similar brand names but are totally different (e.g. Rubycon and Rulycon), post them here.
    You know there's something wrong when you open your PC and it has vented Rubycons...

      No, they're two different brands.

          You know there's something wrong when you open up a PSU and are glad to find Teapos.
          Why I don't buy cheap cases!

              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...

              Good brands of run capacitor for house heat hump
              by cook
              Are there good brands for 'run capacitors' or 'start capacitors' that are used on electric motors or heat pump compressors? ... r are the good capacitor brands for electronics (power supplies, laptops, motherboards, etc.) also the good brands for run capacitors?
              Yeah I know this might be a novice question, but I just wanted to be sure. I did do a search on the forum but did not see this question asked before.

              Thanks

              Vintage AT Power Supplies - Selecting Capacitors
              by iMic
              Hi,

              Back after a long hiatus with some old power supplies that need repairing. I've recently picked up a couple of 386SX systems, two 486DX systems, a SiliconGraphics Indy and an iMac G3 that either have verified leaking capacitors in their power supplies, or are likely to in the near future. For the sake of simplicity, instead of tackling all at once, I'm starting with the 386's and one of the 486's.


              The 386's power supplies are Seasonic SS4040A's, with caps that are visibly leaking, and 9 replacement caps per unit are required. Most appear to be from the Rubycon...
