    old capacitor

    trying to identify this old thing from the 50s to replace with a new one .i dont know how to read the values to match with a new one and the local shops have no idea. not much info on the web either .

    Re: old capacitor

    worn print, but: probably 82uF 350v axial electrolytic.
    or it could be 32uF - but 82 is unlikely to harm it.

    i would use an 82uF 400v radial electrolytic - they are very easy to find.
    they are used in psu's in everything from dvd players to set-top boxes.

      yeh the numbers are,
      top row MFD VW VP
      lower---32 300 350
      and TYPE ET5B

        Re: old capacitor

        then i would get a 47uF 400v radial electrolytic - preferably rated for 105' temperatures

        btw, radial = both wires at the same end.
        axial = one wire each end - pretty costly unusual these days.

        MFD = Micro-Farads (uF)
        VW = Working Voltage(maximum)
        VP = Pulse Voltage(maximum)

          you can get 33uF 400v too, but they are less common.

            Would this help? looks like a 32uf 300vdc

                Manufacturing Date of Electrolytic capacitor
                by AleXis6
                Guys. could you help me please to decode some codes of main capacitor's producers.
                I would like to know the manufacturing date.

                Based on the information from capacitors I have - it seems easy to decode manufacturing date for Rubycon, Nichicon.

                If I understood correctly:
                1. Nichicons marks date of production as (see the attached pictures) H2116
                I don't understand the meaning of first letter - may be it is code of factory.
                21 -year
                16 week
                I bought this capacitor recently.

                RTX 3080 FE Identifying capacitor
                by Prolog
                Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.

                I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.

                I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
                (yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)

                I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never...

                Need replacement advice for surface mount electrolytic capacitor
                by beogeek
                Hi all,

                I have a faulty monitor, the surface mount electrolytic capacitor 33uF 100V needs to be replaced, now I can't seem to source them locally, so my question is can I replace it with a through-hole electrolytic capacitor of the same value? Or has someone got a better suggestion?

                Cheerio...

                solid polymer electrolytic capacitor go boom?
                by eccerr0r
                Anyone had a solid polymer capacitor fail for whatever reason?

                How do they fail? Do they explode, go open, short out, ?

                How about for different reasons: forcing excessive ripple current, overheating, voltage too high, reverse voltage?

                Just wondering about the causes for a potential shorted solid polymer capacitor... trying to debug a board that has a ~4Ω "short" on a track... it may or may not be a capacitor but was wondering what if it were...
