Nichicon PW series rubber seal variant

[nonanche92000]

Hi,

I bought some Nichicon capacitor for a recapping project.

I found that these capacitor , even if they are all from the same series (PW) , have different rubber seal.

I have a couple of Nichicon gold tune too , with different rubber seal.

see the photos:

For the PW series



For the Gold Tune



I just want to know if this is normal?

Thanks

Where did you buy the capacitors from? If eBay, most likely some, or all of them, are fakes.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply , they all come from Mouser.com.

They shouldn't be fake.

I haven't used Nichicon caps as large as the two largest, but the rest look correct.

They may be from within the same series, but they are different sizes, so that is quite normal...

Don't use 3rd party image hosting, as it is slower to load. Attach your pictures here (I've done it for you this time).

Yes, but with this document you can see if the bung shape is correct for the size, or possibly a fake...
