    Wurth capacitors

    I noticed that these have become available pretty much from everywhere.
    Anyone here bought some? Any experiences? I wonder if they are rebadged?
    They seem a little cheaper than Japanese caps. They have some Low ESR series as well as polymers too.

      Re: Wurth capacitors

      Yes, I came across them on Farnell, while trying to find something in stock for a British forum member:

      Definitely re-branded. Probably a Taiwanese or Chinese brand. Wouldn't use their electrolytics.

          Their specifications look pretty good. I have used a few on some vintage amplifiers, and they seem to sound pretty good. No failures so far.

                  hm, maybe you can get those things from your local metal worker or so...
                  Maybe I go to one and ask if they can get me a couple Wet Lytics...

                      Wurth trying to bust into the capacitor business, they have great pricing and the film caps are good.
                      Wurth electrolytics are made in china and seem like a cheap build (low hrs lifetime) despite the cute red packaging. I don't bother using them.

                              Würth is a German brand, that does not mean that they manufacture their own capacitors...

                                  A bit over 10 years ago Evox-Rifa explored selling some Chinese-made electrolytic caps, and gave my then-current employer a bunch of samples for us to test. IIRC, the box smelled like rotting fish before I even opened it, and when I did, ! There performance under torture smelled almost as bad, . Re-badging happens.

                                      Re: Wurth capacitors

                                      Würth caps I have purchased from Digikey are country of origin: china.
                                      WIMA film caps that I've purchased are made in Germany.

                                      Phoenix Contact and Weidmuller moved most manufacturing from Germany to china. Price didn't change, quality dropped a bit and I guess they reap profits.
                                      UCC and Nichicon, usually parts are made in Japan, sometimes china though.

                                          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.

                                          AA and AAA battery charger capacitors?

                                          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

                                          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...

                                          by ctroxtell
                                          I picked up a 70" Samsung UN70TU7000WXZA. The original owner said they were watching it when the power surged and knocked it out. I pulled the back off the TV and disconnected the main board from the power board, and the LED backlight came on, which I was told meant the power board was good. When everything is plugged in the standby light will not come on, looking at the main board BN94-17775A with a thermal imaging gun I can see one of the chips labeled 3202 is 251 degrees F just sitting idle. I found a replacement board, BN94-16115X; this board has the same symptoms, except it is a different...
