Panasonic pt#, but it's the same thing, you can get them at digi-key

or you can get the Nichicon equivalent at radarinc.com

UPW1A182MPH6, or D6...Can't remeber which one at the moment..one is Pb free that's all..

interesting....those are original on the board? they are the flagship product of rubycon for this application. what brand/model is that board?

like MD Willington suggested you would be fine with Panasonic FC caps or otherwise any of Rubycon MBZ, ZA, ZLG, ZL, ZLH, YXG



i dont think you will find the higher rubycon series easily in small quantities (MCZ, MBZ, ZA) if you do they are much more expensive than the ZL which is easier to find and fine for motherboards.

are you in US so Topcat can sort you out. He has some interesting looking Rubycons, 8mm diameter also, i am not sure what series they are.

I'm in the US...I work for a large manufacturing company...

Engineering sample abound...

what kind of work do you do?

[MD Willington]

I'm a AEET, I work as a firmware engineering tech.

I test embedded firmware and build test rigs etc, modify boards, fix stuff and help the engineers setup hardware, they are software/firmware engineers and some of them need a hand with the hardware side of things.

I've been doing it for 5 years now... I'd finish my degree up but I'm strapped for time with a growing family and several projects.

You?

nice, do you like your work? do you have potential for moving up or will you be held back without your degree.

I have been supporting a 17 user office for about 6 years now. build all the systems, teach people how to use them but do a whole lot more than support, fill in the gaps assist with management and strategy. doing a big project now upgrading the whole network with a server room and adding adsl. will go in tomorrow to finish cabling and then monday will learn the cisco router and set it up.

kinda want to seek greener pastures though, thinking about either going back to finish my degree or doing cisco/microsoft certificates would rather work for a company with a bigger budget and people to learn from rather than me being the most knowledgeable. there is a choice to ditch support and get into electronics/electrical. computers/peoples data is an unnecessary stress but it is something which i am good. This year i turned 30 so i gotta make choices for the future. have several other offers from people who know me but not in the industries which i know/like. i have a lot of potentials to fall back on but would like to take a big step and see what happens.

I love it...I get paid to break things LOL..

No holding me back, I started as a Tech 1, now I'm a Tech 2..there are quite a few paths to go...I'm hoping to eventually get over to systems integration... a lot more fun.

I just turned 29 last week LOL...
