    Re: Nichicon HM/HN/HZ scheduled for discontinuation

    They look pretty genuine to me as well. I couldn't read the datecodes, though. Are they with very recent datecodes? If so, that is indeed a bit concerning. But perhaps they could also be a custom order??

    I guess, use them at your own discretion. If it is for repair of personal electronics (or ones where a disruption in service will not be critical should these caps turn to be fake and fail), then you can give them a try and see what happens. If they really are fakes, then whoever made them looks like they put a pretty good amount of effort into them. So even if they are fake, then I doubt they would be that terrible.

        Not nessarily. I could see them putting $1000 into making them look legit and less than $0.01 into making them actually work well.

            Many of the datecode s are 15xx or 16xx, and why I have confidence is that I saw the shop appeared to be well managed with other surely legimate products and witnessed staff restocked some other Nichicon caps from what looked like a logoed bag.

                And size for several capacitances are correct

                    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 datasheet for nichicon LXJ series?
                    by chth96
                    I want to calculate capacitor ESR referring to below guide.

                    https://forum.digikey.com/t/calculat...-from-tan/2633


                    I must find out dissipation factor(Tan(δ)) for nichicon lxj series(6.3v 1500uf,25v 1000uf ,10v 2200uf)
                    I finally found out datasheet which has all series of nichicon capacitor.But unfortunately, It removed old nichicon capacitor.
                    Is there anyone who still has old nichicon datasheet which has information of LXJ series?

                    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...

                    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.
