    Want to replace electrolytic with polymer?

    I have a video card here with crappy Skywell caps, and one of the lytics is a strange value, it's 510uF 4V. I should be able to replace it with a 270uF 4V poly cap right? the polymer reads:
    ULR
    4V
    270
    YZ

    use the 560@4 sepc sanyo in the store.that one may actually be a poly.
    post a pic.most skywell i have seen were series sht.
    used to joke that they saved a fraction of a cent by leaving out the "i"

      There are 5 Skywell caps, 4x 1000uF 6.3V (SHT) and the 510uF 4V cap is SEL (The one with no vent) Yeah I agree, they are shit That one in the back is a lonely nichicon VR...

        I'm with kc8. I'd just go with a 560
        I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

        No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

          How do organic polymer caps compare to liquid electrolytic for reliability
          by Perry Babin
          I have a situation where a power supply is commonly abused and the 12v supply caps take a beating. They don't commonly fail but they run hot. I was thinking about going from a liquid electrolytic (Panasonic FC and Nichicon HE) to an organic polymer. The values have been 330uF. I typically use a higher-than-needed voltage to get a lower ESR. The supply is operated from 12v.

          If not organic polymer, what would be the caps that could take the most abuse?

          Opinions/Advice on Do/Should I replace ALL Electrolytic Capacitors on old equipment?
          by RetroComputingGrotto
          I've just been repairing some (very) old speakers with a loud hum that occurred as soon as you powered them on regardless if any actual audio is played through them. I work in a School so it's 99% likey that the Teachers have hardly ever turned the power off on them for well over 10+ years.



          As you can see the top large capacitor on the right has a bulge on the top so defincately needs replacing. As the one next to it is exactly the same capacity and voltage I planned to replace them both.


          What is your advice/opinion on whether or not on old(er)...

          Replace electrolytic cap with bipolar one
          by Adenitz
          Hello,
          can I use this cap:
          https://www.tme.eu/en/details/ues1h4...tors/nichicon/

          Capacitor: electrolytic; bipolar; THT; 47uF; 50V

          to replace this capacitor: Electrolytic Radial E 47uF/50V 6.3x11 RM2.5 105°C Jamicon

          What exactly I can expect to install bipolar electrolytic cap instead a regular one?

          Thanks.
