    Capacitor Values?

    I have a vp6, I wanted to replace capacitors that have 1000UF and 1500UF raings. My question, what is the point of installing capacitors with higher UF values?

    There are no big gains. I would stay with the original values. For some pointers should you decide to change, take a look at this thread....

      Capacitor values in boardview
      by mrkmpn
      I am trying to determine the value of a blown capacitor, and the boadview shows the values for many of the capacitors and other components on this board, but all of the information blank on others.

      Is there any relevance to the fact that some of these values are left out, or is it just inconsistency by whoever created the boardviews?

      Is there any way to deteremine if one without infrormation matches one that shows those details?

      If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
      by chth96
      I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
      Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
      It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
      So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
      I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...

      How can I test non-polarized capacitor?
      by chth96
      I desoldered samwha NF capacitor(50v 5.6uf) from PCB circuit of 29inch CRT TV which have symptoms of no display after I heard sound of inrush of current to TV whenever I switch on this television.
      I measured ESR value of this non-polarized capacitor(samwha NF capacitor 50v 5.6uf) by means of MESR-100 ESR meter and It displayed 0.3 ohm

      And When I measured its capacitance with digital multimeter and LCR-T4 Mega328 meter, It displayed 10uf from DMM and 8uf from LCR-T4 meter.
      I found catalogue of samwha capacitor(samwha-catalogue_3.pdf file), which is attached to this thread,...

      Is it no harm to replace with capacitor without ripple current rating?
      by chth96
      When I tried to repair LG 29 inch CRT TV, I found that the ESR value of samyoung SMS capacitor(160v 2.2uf), which is very close to D1879 transistor, is 6 ohm.


      Judging from above ESR Meter Table,I think It is necessary to replace this sms capacitor.So I visited local electronics shop,and I purchased 160v 2.2uf rubycon YK capacitor.
      But when I browse through rubycon YK datasheet,I found that there is no ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf specification. But On the contrary, I found 39 mA ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf SMS capacitor.
      Rubycon YK DataSheet (b...

      Should I replace polymer capacitor?
      by chth96
      a few days ago I finally purchased mser-100 v2 and I tested its abillity of measuring ESR value.
      I found that It shows pretty accurate ESR value for electrolytic capacitor,But When I measure polymer capacitor of dreamcast game console,I found that one third of polymer capacitor's ESR value is more than twice the value of ESR meter table.(for example, I measured one polymer capacitor of 6.3v 100uf, It showed ESR value of 7.68)
      Although my dreamcast now turns 20 years old but it still works. I occasionally have played game with it.
      Is this ESR value of polymer capacitor correct?...
