Re: Nichicon HM/HN/HZ scheduled for discontinuation
Nooooooooo. Topcat can't get Panny FJ/FL, so who's gonna replace Nich? Suncon/Sanyo maybe?
EDIT: MBZ/MCZ are not actually discontinued. Rubycon just only sell them to motherboard manufacturers now.Last edited by c_hegge; 07-15-2012, 02:44 AM.I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

Re: Nichicon HM/HN/HZ scheduled for discontinuation
People don't buy PCs anymore... When they do, it's either bottom of the barrel stuff they would never get repaired, or really high end stuff that uses good polymers. We'll have to rely on shady Chinese new old stock. I think Samxon stopped making GC/GD a long time ago. And HZ was the only capacitor of its class in production.
The frenzy of fanaticism for polymers also caused this... There's only a few good polymer makers out there, but the plethora of inferior polymer manufacturers have contributed to this... The difference with inferior polymers and inferior electrolytics is that inferior polymers don't usually bloat. Asus and kin will now be able to get away with selling junk.
You have to admit though, they have good reason to discontinue it. I've wondered myself who is actually buying new stock besides ourselves.Last edited by mockingbird; 07-15-2012, 05:35 PM.Comment

Re: Nichicon HM/HN/HZ scheduled for discontinuation
did I do good master? did I do good??
heh really I wish I would of brought it to your attention earlier but while I was going adding nichis to the database and trying to figure out which ones were already schedule to be discontuned I discovered that disturbing little fact
now all we have to do is hoard. Perhaps you should contract with rubycon to make badcaps brand capacitors! No wait, putting 'badcaps' on a capacitor might not be a good ideaCap Datasheet Depot: http://www.paullinebarger.net/DS/

Re: Nichicon HM/HN/HZ scheduled for discontinuation
The thing that strikes me as odd - not questioning the basic news story - is that I don't see a replacement for these series. Is the HV series as good or better? If not, are some news series about to be rolled out? Or have they come to the conclusion that these series are too finicky to manufacture with consistent quality? Is Nichicon's lunch being eaten by cheap crap combined with short-sighted customer decisions? I'm just trying to figure out what Nichicon is doing in business strategy.PeteS in CA

Re: Nichicon HM/HN/HZ scheduled for discontinuation
No, HV is miniaturized HD, so it's equivalent to Panasonic FR series. And I don't think I've ever seen it stocked anywhere...Comment

Re: Nichicon HM/HN/HZ scheduled for discontinuation
Shoot, they're a step higher in ESR than HM. :/
This looks like short-sighted management at Nichicon.

Re: Nichicon HM/HN/HZ scheduled for discontinuation
So poly-modding motherboards will become routine practice. Right?

Re: Nichicon HM/HN/HZ scheduled for discontinuation
Could poly-modding power supplies be routine practice too?My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.Comment

Re: Nichicon HM/HN/HZ scheduled for discontinuation
By the way, the table says you replaced the 220uF 16V RLS on the -12V with 330uF 6.3V SEPs.

Re: Nichicon HM/HN/HZ scheduled for discontinuation
One option might be to insert a current sense resistor in series with the cap to compensate for the lower ESR when recapping with poly caps.
I think I might could understand where Nichicon is coming from on their decision to discontinue the series in question... I can only wonder about sales figures... I think that most newer mobos nowadays are being designed with poly caps... there might not be enough demand for those series to justify taking the time and effort to continue doing production runs for them.Comment

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... -
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... -
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? -

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.
