Identification of Secondary Capacitors

[brispuss]

Can anyone identify the manufacturer of these PSU secondary capacitors please?

For reference, primary capacitor is Teapo, so some secondary capacitors may be Teapo as well?

possibly a mix of Fuhjyyu or capxon with some teapos. they all need to be replaced.

Thanks for the comment.

Was hoping for more positive identification of these capacitors, although it is a bit difficult due to limited available photos.

From personal search, it seems likely that the capacitors with the "Y" and 3 smaller serrations on the top of the capacitors are Teapo (especially since the primary capacitor is also Teapo), and the other capacitors with the "+" serration on top might be CapXon.

Any other ideas?

Given that it is an FSP Teapo and CapXon would definitely be a good guess, FSP tends to use a lot of those. Some of their top of the line units have Japanese caps, but the entry-level to mid-range stuff tends to be loaded with Teapo and/or CapXon.

FSP units tend to hold up fairly well with sub-par caps, but obviously not as good as they would with better caps. The last one I opened up came out of my mom's old PC which was 8 years old and spent several of those years in an un-air-conditioned garage in Florida and it had one bad CapXon (I replaced them all except the primary though of course).

Thanks for the comments.

On researching capacitors used in PSU's, it was noticed that Teapo and CapXon capacitors were quite often used together.

So in all probability the secondary capacitors are Teapo and CapXon for this particular PSU.
