Re: Rubycon copycats - 'Rukycon'
In Swedish "Runka" means to jerk off
And "Ruky" sounds very similar when saying it.
So I'll call these caps a complete jerkoff

Re: Rubycon copycats - 'Rukycon'
I had one of them bought for fun (counterfeit "YXA" series, used for testing only). The printing on these are low quality, blurry on the edges (while real ones have sharp defined edges). The "k" part looks a bit like "b". Of course, those familiar with real Rubycons will straight away notice the differences...Seen them before too, they are Rubycon imitators, like the infamous 'Rulycon'

Re: Rubycon copycats - 'Rukycon'
Let us know how it goes. Would actually be interesting to put them in some type of equipment where they get some real-life stress-tested. I bet they wouldn't last.Originally posted by lexwalker
Rukycon?
How clever. What do you all think we will see next? Rudycon? I know there is Rudoycon out there already too

Really?
Ok, enough playing.
No, I'm pretty sure they aren't. Why?...
1) Can't see the bung or vent
2) Seller is based in China
3) Just look at the seller's name or other items he's sellingComment

Re: Rubycon copycats - 'Rukycon'
May try it in a cheap multimedia speaker system (where usually the main capacitor is also made in China one), when I have the time (kinda busy nowadays, too many repair jobs came in)...

Maybe do a "Great Capacitor Shootout 2". Rulycon vs. Rukycon vs. Fuhjyyu or something.Comment

Re: Rubycon copycats - 'Rukycon'
Why do people still use NOS 20+ year old turquoise Rubycon capacitors?"We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

Re: Rubycon copycats - 'Rukycon'
That was an unused Rubycon CE-W and was pretty old (leftover from many years back, didn't get the opportunity to use that last one and was put in cold storage). Nowadays for those sizes and capacitance, mostly using Nichicons and Panasonics...

What we have here today is an Intel DG33FB motherboard, circa 2007... I need to replace some of the caps on this board... From what I have found, one of these caps was sort of well known here back in the day as they were used in XBoxes and XBox 360s as well....They are the Rubycon MFZ series, in particular the 6.3 v 3300uf 10mm X 20mm... I have found a seller on Amazon, The Capacitor Store, that has them listed but I have a hard time believing these are genuine pieces... The original recommendation was to replace any bad ones with Nichicon HZ series since the Rubycon MFZ's were a custom product,... -
Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though.
I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

Hello, I'm working on an old Dell XPS410 with burst capacitors. I'm trying to source either an equivalent replacement, or a replacement that will work. It's been suggested to me to use Poly caps as a replacement, but I have no idea what to order or what will work.
If anyone has a link to where I can buy what I need that would be even better.
These are the caps that have burst:
Board location: C8BV, C26BV, C43BV
Brand: United Chemi Con
Series: KZG
Size: 10mm dia X 25mm height
Impedance: (ohms max/20c, 100kHz) .012
Ripple: 2800... -
Hi,
is the replacement possible? There is a difference of factor 2 between the ESR/Impedance.
The caps are located on a motherboard.

Hello. I'm looking for the best modern long-life replacement for Rubycon CE W capacitors found in some old consoles and computers (Sega Genesis/Mega Drive and ZX Spectrum). In these machines I've also found (and replaced) Nichicon VX(M), TK C-8Z1 and FDS K002.
I've used Panasonic FR (and Rubycon YXJ for the 1 uF 50V) but the Sega Mega Drive became unstable after one hour of use, so I switched to Panasonic FC / Rubycon ML and it works apparently fine. I need more capacitors, so I'm planning to order Rubycon YXF instead of ML this time, is it a good idea?
ML does not especify...
