    "R&C" brand capacitors

    Yesterday, I saw some bad "R&C" brand capacitors in a Conia CSTB303 set-top box.
    Are there any other sightings of this brand of capacitor?
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

    Re: "R&C" brand capacitors

    Just did a repair on my Logitech LS21 2.1 speakers. All the caps were R&C brand. I've never heard of them before either. About a dozen total. None were bloated but half were bad with weak uF and high ohms (5-10ohms) and the the other half weren't far behind. None had less than 2ohms ESR, ranging from values of 47-220uF. Only a 7W speaker setup, ~5 years old and only ever use it at moderate volume so it's not like it was abused. Even some Chang caps would put these to shame. Absolute garbage!

      After updating motherboard capacitors, what to do next (Asrock K7VT2, SOLTEK SL-75FRN2L)
      by dragon3x
      Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
      power on.

      Here are some examples :

      (N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
      switching supply area).
      (N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
      than 6.3 V.)

      1 - Motherboard #1 : this is an Asrock K7VT2 (socket A) that still works well. To put it on test
      I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.
      3300 microF/6.3 V. x 4 replaced by 3300 microF/6.3 V. (KYOCERA...

      BEST 505 Vs Mechanic Brand Reballing Balls with Lead
      by Stanley1843
      Hello,
      has anyone use these Brands of solder balls? The brand BEST writes on the label of the jar the specs of the solder balls instead of the Mechanic brand. I beleive that BEST brand must be more professional (in labeling at least) but I have never try one of them so I would like your opinion. By the way I hardly can I find the Mechanic brand in aliexpress (the only where I found was lead free solder balls) and on ebay these that I found are approximately15USD per jar. If you know any other trusted brand of solder balls please tell me.

      by slybunda
      hey all, iv got my favourite battery charger here which iv had for many years probably 15 years now or maybe even more. it still works good but thought id open it up to clean the dust out of it, lots of dust inside but now its clean and noticed 4 capacitors inside it and wondered if i should replace them.
      it has inside:
      2 x 47uf 16v caps 105c branded as Su'scon (lol sounds sus to me)
      2 x 470uf 16v LZ105c branded as G.Luxon

      not heard of these brands are they any good?

      iv attached photos of the charger and the board inside for an idea on the type of...

      Panasonic switching power supply daughter board has two 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors which I do not keep in stock
      by sam_sam_sam
      I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow

      This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board

      After all of...

      Are there any datasheets available for Elna RJG capacitors?
      by Ady2017
      I have a 2007-era Panasonic VHS combo that is full of of Elna RJG capacitors. I am trying to test the capacitors to diagnose the machine and then select replacement capacitors but I can not find any datasheets for them. I did find a Elna catalogue from 2007-2008 but there is no mention of this capacitor series. Where these specially made for Panasonic and so not made available to the public? Any ideas what to find out what the ESR values should be without the datasheets? They are all between 10V and 50V and 47uF and 1800uF. None are leaking or bulged but I know that they need to be tested to be...
