Replacements for Canicon and Evercon

[Jooo]

Hello, I am recapping my monitor and also want to replace the low quality capacitors on the logic board.

The caps on the logic board are following:
3x Canicon 220uF 16V 6x12mm
1x Canicon 470uF 16V 8x14mm
4x Evercon 100uF 16V 6x8mm

width x height

What could I use to replace them?
There was no series marked on the capacitors, on the Canicons it reads just the brand, capacitance value, voltage and 105C temperature. Nothing else.

On the Evercons after the temperature there is a circled E letter and under that E83A which is the date code I assume. No clear indication about the series either...

I will be ordering from Digikey this time.

Re: Replacements for Canicon and Evercon

I don't know if the description will be enough for the cap experts on here.
But I can't image that pictures wouldn't hurt, if in fact almost be required to aid in proper identification. Especially since there are no series markings.

Inserting images in your post.
*Read the comment by RatDude, 4th down, for corrections on doing this with the new forum software. Changes were made.

Also, I'd suggest posting them as attachments only, then you can use a significantly higher resolution. Be sure to crop them, make them as clear as you can. Macro mode is required for less than 1 meter shots on many non high-end cameras.

Here you go

Thanks in advance

You can use pretty much any general purpose capacitor there, all the heavy work when it comes to producing power is done on the other board.

That board only has some linear voltage regulators, which don't need capacitors that are very low esr (in fact some linear voltage regulators don't like having very low esr capacitors).

I would use Panasonic FC, Nichicon HD or HE, United Chemi Con KZH, KZM, LXZ .. all these should work just fine.

Since you're in Finland, you'll probably get hit with the shipping fees from Digikey. Consider using Farnell : http://fi.farnell.com/aluminium-electrolytic or RS-Components : http://fi.rsdelivers.com/?&cm_mmc=Wo..._-MainWorldMap

Thank you. So I ended up choosing these:
http://www.digikey.fi/product-detail...529187?cur=USD
http://www.digikey.fi/product-detail...529188?cur=USD
https://www.digikey.fi/product-detai...356102?cur=USD

So these should be allright? Is KZM too low ESR? Does KZM have the same problems as KZG series?

By the way, there is a company in Finland that arranges group orders to Digikey, so shippings costs are very low.

Edit: Oh, and these are the caps that I choosed for the power supply:
3x 1000uF 16V Hermei LZ -> 3x 1000uF 25V Panasonic FR
4x 1000uF 16V Hermei LE -> 4x 1000uF 25V Rubycon ZLJ
2x 180uF 25V Hermei LZ -> 2x 180uF 50V Panasonic FM
1x 4.7uF 50V Fuhjyyu TM -> 1x 4.7uF 50V Nichicon PW
100uF 400V Fuhjyyu MS -> 100uF 400V Chemi-Con KXG

I assume these are good, too?

As far as I know, KZM doesn't have the same problems as KZG.

The chosen capacitors should be fine. And the other chosen capacitors look good too.

Thank you. I swapped the 100uF 16V Panasonic FC's to 100uF 25V Nichicon HE's due to lower price and better specs.
And the Rubycons were out of stock, so I used Panasonic FR instead of them to replace the Hermei LE capacitors too.
The monitor works like a charm now. I'm thinking that it should be pretty durable with all new capacitors.

Re: Replacements for Canicon and Evercon

Good job It should be reliable now. Yeah even though they are low capacitance it's good to replace those caps. Just recently I came across some Evercon caps in a switch that were dried up and a 100uF Fuhjyyu cap that wasn't bulging but the ESR was 16Ω and the capacitance was 61uF

Re: Replacements for Canicon and Evercon

Hello Folks,
I need to consult your brains here. I have a NAS (storage device) which seems to have a blown capacitor (selected in the picture).... There are lots of capacitors on this board, they are all of the Evercon brand and have one of the 3 codes : E83A 220uF 16V, E7NB 25V 470uF, E81A 25V 1000uF. By the size of it, I guess it is the smaller one E83A.

Which capacitor should I buy to replace it? thank you.

Re: Replacements for Canicon and Evercon

i just use panasonic FR for everything.
