    Re: Nichicon Loses Some Brownie Points

    Panasonic FC, Nichicon PW, and UCC LXZ series are more or less equivalents to each other; not sure what Rubycon series is similar to these, possibly JXA. Rubycon suffers from terrible marketing and distribution in the US, putting it nicely.

        Capacitor Diarrhea - Nichicon PL Series
        by DrewPhillips
        Hello All, I have on the bench a couple of PSU's which have some failed Nichicon PL series caps. They didn't "puke" their guts through the top, but instead "diarrhea'ed" corrosive brown electrolyte through the bottom, down the legs and onto the board. On one cap, the electrolyte rotted the cap right off the board leaving 2 little stubs, and also corroded a trace on the foil side.

        The PSU's are Power-One MAP series and are ringing-choke topology. The semiconductors have date codes in 1993. The PSU's were used in a commercial application, fan-cooled. They had failed...

        Mid/late 80's Nichicon Yellow Caps
        by nick3092
        I recently acquired a set of Bose Roomate speakers from the mid to late 80's. Basically the right speaker cabinet is completely passive, and the left one has the power transformer and amplifier circuit in it. Out of curiosity, I opened it up to see what the circuit looked like. Looks like they used all Nichicon VX (2x 4700uF/16v for smoothing off the bridge rectifier), a couple random Nichicon SE series sprinkled on the board, and what really caught my eye - 2 yellow sleeved Nichicon caps (both 1uF/50v with no real series marking. Below are pictures of the caps. The only thing not shown in these...

        Is there datasheet for nichicon LXJ series?
        by chth96
        I want to calculate capacitor ESR referring to below guide.

        https://forum.digikey.com/t/calculat...-from-tan/2633


        I must find out dissipation factor(Tan(δ)) for nichicon lxj series(6.3v 1500uf,25v 1000uf ,10v 2200uf)
        I finally found out datasheet which has all series of nichicon capacitor.But unfortunately, It removed old nichicon capacitor.
        Is there anyone who still has old nichicon datasheet which has information of LXJ series?

        Is there any datasheet for nichicon RT(M) series?
        by chth96
        A few days ago,I destroyed one of my japanese retro game console by pluging it to 220v outlet.
        https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...e-been-blew-up

        and I finally fixed​ this retro game console by soldering varistor and glass fuse.

        But I noticed that When I measure voltage of PSU's 5pin connector, it is 8.80-9.07v, 5.13v,3.40-3.48v,GND,GND instead of its rated voltage of 9v 5v 3v GND GND.
        I have spare console...

        Help with finding ThinkPad T460 JTAG Points
        by novator2007
        Hello All,

        I got a T460 with issue - No picture - Fan on full Speed and no Power LED Light.
        Bios already reflashed
        All standard voltage is present. CPU on emergeny(?) mode - max 30 c Grad.


        By Schematc & BRD View I have found few Debug/Jtag points.
        Just not sure which one is correct,
        1.There is some(under lack) Test points near CPU - Schematic Page 6
        2. J9 26p place for connector - Present: PCH_TMS/TDI/TDO/TCK/RSMRST
        3. J8 26p place for Connector - XDP_TMS/TDI/TDO/TCK/RSMRST

        I trying to find a correct...
