    Re: Caps above 25 V?

    May be related to the temperature, there's quite hot in the engine compartment or dashboard…

    And I think the ESR difference is not that signifficant to be more than like 500 hours with regard to the temperature.

    I'll ask for the pricing in future, if it is still not that bad, I'll take them over the KY. I think I won't get YXM for better price, not in reasonable numbers. And it occurs to me they are corss-reference as the specs are the same!

    EDIT// just did the math. For example if the LE 4.7/50 will be 50 % more expensive than KY, it would cost 2 CZK a piece from me (8 US cent). Both the KY and YXM cost 6.25 CZK from Digi Key. Is it so bad?

      No that's very good, if you can get them in small batches though...

      You'll have to work your charm with the supplier

        Batches of 5x11 are 3000 pcs, that's reasonable.

        As the specs are rather similar, I'll take them instead of the KY next time…don't think it would matter for any circuit if the ESR will be 1.8, 2 or 2.2 ohm…

              I am getting the LXS 390/400 D25.4x45 mm about tomorrow or so, 4 pcs. How many of them would you like?

                I also received 4 KMZ 390/420 D25.4x40 mm. These just have shorter life, 2000 hours only @105 °C. Weasel will take some four, the remaining ones will be available if anybody needs.

                If there would be demand I can stock 200 pcs. I can use some from time to time to upgrade units I review and have small primary capacity (especially when they have short hold-up time). But not so many and it goes expensive to let them rotting on the stock.

                  Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
                  by momaka
                  I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

                  For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

                  https://www.badcaps.net/filedata/fetch?id=3591772

                  It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

                  Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
                  by eryjus
                  Hello,

                  First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                  I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                  I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
                  ...

                  Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
                  by Paxman_Swede
                  Hello!

                  I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                  The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                  I have studied the board and...

                  Gigabyte GA-6OXT :: caps question
                  by Foetuss
                  Good evening

                  I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
                  Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

                  But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
                  Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...

                  EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GS AGP 256MD2 [256-A8-N542-T2] with bad caps - fixed
                  by momaka
                  I did it again – I had to fulfill my inner desire to fix yet another old piece of hardware. This one is actually kind of worthwhile, too – it’s an EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GS AGP video card, model P/N: 256-A8-N542-T2. With the popularity of “retro” PCs from the Win9x to XP era going up, and the diminishing supply of decent AGP cards, it is expected their prices will go up. Or is it? I bought the this video card rather on the cheap side (~$9 USD shipped to my door), because the eBay seller listed it for parts or repair (and correctly noted the bad capacitors.)

                  So, here is the...
