                fake-o-rama. They look resleeved. I'd love to see some dissection pics of those to find out what they really are

                  oh no its the bullseye bung again. i'd say they are resleeved crapxons as i've seen crapxon using the bullseye bung and the + vent is also used by crapxon. teapo uses a mercedes benz vent with three additional notches in the center.

                      If I was a betting man I would say that those are only 10 to 16 Volts rated.

                        Lots of caps use that bung style. I have some I.Q (OST) caps with the same bung. These fake caps won't be relabeled caps from a well-known manufacturer.

                          Nichicon website indicates a much lower impedance than you are measuring.

                            Thanks for the replies.
                            I talked to the supplier and was refunded.

                                  I think it looks ok, would they hold up to 25V?

                                    don't "speculate" anything over/about those fakes


                                    Get the real deal from Mouser or Digikey.

                                      Try and see. They might hold up to full voltage indeed. But with counterfeit caps, you never know.

                                      That said, if you do try them, I don't suggest you do it with anything you care for, and certainly not as a repair (not even temporary). Cheap caps like these may be only useful for breadboard projects - at least that's how I re-use them (extra filtering on the power lines).

                                      By the way, another "fun" way to check ESR is to charge the cap to full voltage and then short-circuit its leads. Given that this is a 25V 4700 uF cap, you should get quite a bit of sparking and popping when you do that. If you don't, the ESR is too high.

                                      And yes, they are definitely fakes... though it's a moot point saying that after everyone already has.

                                      Exactly.
                                      Trying to guess which crap cap manufacturer made these is pointless. Whether it's CapXon or Jun Fu or G-Luxon... it's all the same, since none of them are good .

                                        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...

                                        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?

                                        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...
