I was looking at my quantex's old motherboard, and the capacitors on it are Hitano, but some of the larger capacitors on the motherboard and sound card are "rubicon"
Now is it rubycon, or rubicon?

Re: imitation rubycons?
Rubycon: there is a chinese cap manifacturer named RuLycon, the logo is almost identical but their caps are crap so beware of them.Originally posted by 370forlife
BTW, Rubicon is the river Caesar crossed in 49 BC: are they water caps?

Re: imitation rubycons?
I looked at it again today, they actually say ro bi con,
and the capacitors on the video card are anus , its actually supposed to be uranus, but the ur got cut off the top. you can see it on the bottom though.
Pictures as soon as I get my camera back.Comment

I was joking, but Uranus is a brand I never heard.
I think they're crap for motherboard caps and maybe for psu use too: Wincaps are used in Creative audio cards and sometimes fail even thereOriginally posted by 370forlife

Re: imitation rubycons?
I was going for - "CON" ur anus - actually.
Fake = CON
Okay, never mind.....
G-Luxon is junk.
Jamicon (I think) is actually an OEM - They buy from others and rebrand. - Quality varies.
I dunno Wincap. Never seen one of theirs other than in pics.
BTW: Hitano is good brand. Not common on Mobos but a good brand.

So hitano is a good brand? thats good, probalby why that quantex's biostar motherboard is still working fine after 15 years.Comment

Re: imitation rubycons?
Hitano is good Japanese brand.
They don't have many sizes with ESR low enough for motherboards. (Just not in their product range.) So they don't come up in here that much.
Do see them in routers, modems, screens, add-in cards, and such.Mann-Made Global Warming.

This is where we are headed trusting that we live in the same world as big time thieves in any industry. When really , we are just a payee listening to someone "claim" our rights as consumers and citizens of a country that would be subjected to any such "DUMPING".

Re: imitation rubycons?
It's Rubycon (Y) , in an old Kenwood KT-6500 Tuner (only) I have. But the board is so small (1/3) of box only that it really isn't worth ravaging for it's splendor. The caps are not vented or crossed in any way , large or small.Originally posted by 370forlife
The entire board is made up of Rubycon's and Enya's grouped together , nothing else. Venting ? What Venting? of what? WHY?Comment

Re: imitation rubycons?
No, I was mistaken.
I know they are a good brand so I thought Japan based.
Looks like they are based in Taiwan.
They don't make any electrolytics that are low ESR though.Mann-Made Global Warming.

Recapping the power supply board for a Samsung 305T monitor, everything is Capxon except 2 Rubycons. I can't find data sheets matching these online, so don't know what ripple numbers, impedence, etc, to look for. There are a few different looking GL series data sheet PDFs, but the listing that matches the capacitance and voltage is a much bigger case size. I've narrowed down selections with lead spacing and case diameter, and what's in stock at Digi-key
1 x Capxon 1000uf35v GL C720(is this a part number or batch number, can't find it anywhere) 105c

Hi,
I'd like to recap some of my old mainboards (they are from 1998) before switching them on again for the first time after many years in storage. All caps still look good from the outside.
There are three mainboards:
- ASUS P5A rev 1.04
- ASUS P2B-S rev 1.03 "Rubycon"
- ASUS P2B-S rev 1.03 "Chemi-Con"
If you are interested in their specs, The Retro Web has pages for the P5A and the P2B-S.
They all have many 1000uF 6.3V 105°C capacitors. But there are some differences I cannot figure out.

What we have here today is an Intel DG33FB motherboard, circa 2007... I need to replace some of the caps on this board... From what I have found, one of these caps was sort of well known here back in the day as they were used in XBoxes and XBox 360s as well....They are the Rubycon MFZ series, in particular the 6.3 v 3300uf 10mm X 20mm... I have found a seller on Amazon, The Capacitor Store, that has them listed but I have a hard time believing these are genuine pieces... The original recommendation was to replace any bad ones with Nichicon HZ series since the Rubycon MFZ's were a custom product,... -
Hi All, So I have two Genelec 8020Cs that are about 10 years old, one of them stopped switching on. I took it apart, fuse was blown, and I've traced the short to one of the two large capacitors on the circuit board.
Now from looking at the Capacitors, they seem to be from Samwha's SD Series with the following specs: 3300uf, 35v, 85C, 25 x 16 mm Radial.
The problem is, I can't find any capacitor from Samwha's SD Datasheet that matches these specs. The closest is 3300uf, 35v, 85c but 31.5 x 16mm, with a max ripple current of 2.5A. I'm guessing the 25mm is custom made for... -
Hello, I'm working on an old Dell XPS410 with burst capacitors. I'm trying to source either an equivalent replacement, or a replacement that will work. It's been suggested to me to use Poly caps as a replacement, but I have no idea what to order or what will work.
If anyone has a link to where I can buy what I need that would be even better.
These are the caps that have burst:
Board location: C8BV, C26BV, C43BV
Brand: United Chemi Con
Series: KZG
Size: 10mm dia X 25mm height
Impedance: (ohms max/20c, 100kHz) .012
Ripple: 2800...
