    Capacitor Brand

    I've removed this cap from my old 200W atx power supply (Feb/2000). It was used 5 times a week everyday till it stopped last week because of bad soldering. Some 220uF or low were CapXon ones and all other 470uF/1000uf/2200uF were this ''A'' brand that I can't seen to find the manufacturer.
    So here it is: rated as Low-ESR! Here's the test that I did with my 'cap-miter':

    16v/470uF rated = 466uF real
    16v/1000uF rated = 998uF real
    10v/2200uF rated = 2194uF real

    That's just like a pro capacitor! I've tested some EPCOS and LeLon capacitors that reached 10% difference! Like 905uF on a 1000uF EPCOS and 374uF in a 470uF LeLon capacitor, all rated ''Low-ESR''
    Here's some pics so maybe someone know the maker of this thing. (sorry for my english, i'm from brazil)

      Thank you so much!! It's interesting how I couldn't find any place to buy them, maybe ARK went bankrupt? Look at the website, is like 17 years old since the last update.

        Given the age of the P/S, if you're looking to replace that cap Nichicon PW series or United (Nippon) Chemicon LXZ series would probably be similar or a bit better.
