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 100% verified.

Capacitors change after a little while and their naming scheme too. So let's take you Elna RJG series. If you look you cannot find that series on any reputable supplier, besides eBay, Amazon and Ali etc. Means that A: they may be some fakes or rejects out there, B: that series migrated at Elna to RJH. Looking at these, they are all low impedance, 105C, 5000hrs rated. Replacements? No problem Panasonic, Nichicon, Rubycon are your friend.
Your tester cannot distinguish between Elna, Panasonic, Nichicon etc. equivalents anyway to be anything meaningful. what does that mean?
You don't need a ELNA RJG datasheet to see if they are good or bad to troubleshoot an issue. -
panasonic FR should be good.

Thanks for your replies. I have just picked out some Panasonic FR caps which seem to be best suited to this application. The only size I have struggled with is 47uF 10v. They do not make this size in the FR or FM series but do make a 16v cap in the FC series which seems to be my only option. My second choice was one from the Nichicon PW series but they seem to have now discontinued the 47uF 10v and 16v.
Why are the delivery charges so high for Farnell UK? It is free collection for RS but then the caps sometimes only come in bags of 25+Comment

just get the 47uf 25v FR's
