Teapo capacitor quality

Re: Teapo capacitor quality

At least the capacitors that came with the PSU were OK to begin with, rather than fakes, pieces of wire.

But I agree, I replace the lot too.

I always pull and toss them all. even if it's a 1uF. I don't trust any junk caps from china anymore. I once ordered some IC adapters from china and they sent me a bag of 10uF caps by mistake. the readings on every cap was zero capacitance and zero resistance. so basically they sent me a bag of jumpers disguised as caps

What brand of caps were these?

I'm guessing that certain person is me. I'll stop hating them when I stop seeing them failed in 2-3yr old PSUs which have only been used in a home environment. I'd rate them slightly above Fuhjyyu, but below CapXon.

So because they fail in a home environment, they are bad?. Don't you just have a oem psu, like most of the psu's are?.....It's an average ok cap and not cheap or something. And what is your knowledge about electronics in general? Build and refurbished a lot?

Yes, a home environment is not very stressful. If they can't handle that, they're pretty bad.
