    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.

                  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...

                  If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
                  by chth96
                  I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
                  Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
                  It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
                  So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
                  I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...

                  How can I test non-polarized capacitor?
                  by chth96
                  I desoldered samwha NF capacitor(50v 5.6uf) from PCB circuit of 29inch CRT TV which have symptoms of no display after I heard sound of inrush of current to TV whenever I switch on this television.
                  I measured ESR value of this non-polarized capacitor(samwha NF capacitor 50v 5.6uf) by means of MESR-100 ESR meter and It displayed 0.3 ohm

                  And When I measured its capacitance with digital multimeter and LCR-T4 Mega328 meter, It displayed 10uf from DMM and 8uf from LCR-T4 meter.
                  I found catalogue of samwha capacitor(samwha-catalogue_3.pdf file), which is attached to this thread,...

                  Is it no harm to replace with capacitor without ripple current rating?
                  by chth96
                  When I tried to repair LG 29 inch CRT TV, I found that the ESR value of samyoung SMS capacitor(160v 2.2uf), which is very close to D1879 transistor, is 6 ohm.


                  Judging from above ESR Meter Table,I think It is necessary to replace this sms capacitor.So I visited local electronics shop,and I purchased 160v 2.2uf rubycon YK capacitor.
                  But when I browse through rubycon YK datasheet,I found that there is no ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf specification. But On the contrary, I found 39 mA ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf SMS capacitor.
                  Rubycon YK DataSheet (b...

                  Should I replace polymer capacitor?
                  by chth96
                  a few days ago I finally purchased mser-100 v2 and I tested its abillity of measuring ESR value.
                  I found that It shows pretty accurate ESR value for electrolytic capacitor,But When I measure polymer capacitor of dreamcast game console,I found that one third of polymer capacitor's ESR value is more than twice the value of ESR meter table.(for example, I measured one polymer capacitor of 6.3v 100uf, It showed ESR value of 7.68)
                  Although my dreamcast now turns 20 years old but it still works. I occasionally have played game with it.
                  Is this ESR value of polymer capacitor correct?...
