any info on this crap cap?

[theOracle]

I need a datasheet or at least to know whether it was originally low ESR

no series marking, just "Suncap" and 105 degrees

hoping someone knows this cap

What did it come out of?

An M-AUDIO Audiophile 24/96 sound card from around 2007 time frame

the whole thing has nothing but Suncaps

they aren't actually leaking, but I am replacing any caps who don't have a website or come up in a google search! - lol

I don't mind using low-ESR caps, because I have gobs of them in stock, but I have run into the problem of oscillation sometimes when a low-ESR cap is used and just a standard cap is spec-ed.

In person I've only ever seen Suncap caps on really basic stuff like 56k modems, ethernet cards, low end sound cards. I don't think any of them were even over 100uF. Do those ones you have have the Hermei/old Jamicon style vent? Like this?

That sound card really has a 9-pin miniature vacuum tube?

Re: any info on this crap cap?

i got the same caps out of a old power supply and they were dead
the caps are 1000uf 16v "low ESR"


#1 is the side view

#2 is the top of the caps

"Suncap" is made by FU KEI ENTERPRISES CO. LTD. They were based in Taiwan. I don't think they're operating anymore. Their website went down sometime in 2011.

Looks like FU KEI's website is still up, possibly under a different domain:

http://www.szfukei.com/index1.asp

They do claim to be a supplier (or OEM, or distributor maybe?) for Suncap, Lelon, Elna (what's interesting about the latter two is that Elna established a joint-venture with Lelon in 1995, in Malaysia, called ELNA-SONIC, to produce aluminum electrolytic capacitors...), Samsung, HEC, Kemet, for ceramic, tantalum, polymer, and electrolytic capacitors (double layer electrolytics as well)... I don't know if they're saying most of that just to sound reputable but the site does verify what P4 said.
