    Pls help identify weird black polymer caps



    Could those can really be a Nichicon polymer FP 5K series caps, 270uF 16V?
    Because the color does not match and I know of no "5K" serie of these caps.
    Only know of FPCAP series E5 and R5, nothing more with "5", futhermore none of these are made in 270uF 16V - ONLY L8, PS and R7 series. AND they (FP L8 on picture) look quite different:

    So, what the hell is this?!

      They are Nichicon FP, but it's most likely a custom order for Asrock (or who made this board, it looks like Asrock).

          What mariushm already said, they are indeed Nichicon FP.
          The 5K (or 10K) addition stands for 105C 5000Hrs (or 10000Hrs), standard FP caps (with red markings, L8 series) do 2000Hrs.
          They are custom caps for Asus, maybe other manuf. & Asrock also (but i've seen Asrock just with other 'gold coloured' caps, no FP's).

              Interesting, never heard about it. And can we determine the series from the 34Ao text...? Or we have no way to know, what series they are, if these are custom made?

              I mean - specs What specs are these - long life ones, as you say?

                  Seems like they may have been painted, or like mentioned multiple times, custom ordered.

                      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?

                      Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
                      by eryjus
                      Hello,

                      First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                      I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                      I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
                      ...

                      Help with switching power supply caps
                      by captain150
                      I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
                      I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...

                      Gigabyte GA-6OXT :: caps question
                      by Foetuss
                      Good evening

                      I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
                      Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

                      But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
                      Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...
