simple q, how to identify replacement cap

[bung_ho]

I have a bad cap on a raid controller card from a dell server (the model of the card is "UCS-51").

The cap in question says "Sanyo 1500uf 6.3v", and also "105C S.E.65 WF"

Can you guys help me with what replacement I should buy?

Thanks.

Re: simple q, how to identify replacement cap

Oddly enough you need to replace it with a 1500uf 6.3v 105C cap.
A picture of it would help and the size height /diameter and fitting type
Have you done a google search on "Sanyo 1500uf 6.3v", and also "105C S.E.65 WF"

Re: simple q, how to identify replacement cap

Well, I wasn't sure as it seems to me like there are many other factors besides the uF and the voltage, like I don't really know what electrolytic vs polymer or low ESR and series names and all this other stuff means.

For example I saw this other thread and it confused me -- it is asking about exactly 1500uF and 6.3v yet the answers do not seem straightforward at all: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=9924

Also I did try googling the entire name but the "SE 65 WF" part never seems to figure into the results. So there are a lot of different caps that fit the uf/v bill but not sure about the rest of the specs.

Here is a pic. I guess the cap itself is blurry but all it says is what I previously stated. Also, the size seems to be about 10mm dia and 13mm height.

Oh and let me add that I previously did this replacement on the same board in a different server, but I kind of blindly ordered the replacement cap without really knowing what I was doing.

The repair seemed to work but the exact cap I bought is not available anymore. I bought it on this site in fact, it was called "1500uF 6.3v 10mm ZL Series", that's all it says on my order history. So now I only see this one and this out of stock one.

Will the "HZ" series do?

I am pretty sure The HZ will do - I would be inclined to send an enquiry - refer to this forum entry and TC will advise - He may not get to read the thread.

Also in another thread is the datasheet for the WF so you can compare
