If you had to choose a chinese/taiwanese/non japanese capacitor, what would it be?

…and there is Taicon, with partial Nichicon investment.

I didn't know that.... learned something new.

Because the heritage of the company does not matter. That's just ideological nonsense pushed by some not that informed people on the interwebs.

And yes, most chinese/taiwanese companys have way cheaper series than japanese and american capacitor manufacturers have...
And are judged by that...

Still, they also have better/good series in their lineup!!

So flaming a manufacturer becuase their worst capacitor series fails sooner rather than later is just stupid...

I Couldn't agree more.

Oh and who uses an older Rigol scope?? How old is it? Does it still work?

The question is, why would I ever need to do that?

I replace Jamicons ALL the time in UPS. Mostly GP series, but still, crap.

Never sus'con. They are the worst capacitors possible.

Mine would be Jamicon, followed by Taicon then Lelon.

Hermei also seems to be slightly more decent lately…and there is Taicon, with partial Nichicon investment.

I have some Illinois Capacitor's that look like they are made by Samxon by the markings on the capacitors.

Anyway, Lelon good, are you kidding me? MAYBE polymers are not life-threatening to touch, but we 'lytics? Never.

Companies like Vishay are so erratic, they bought so many crap makers and you have no idea where does it come from and what the quality is. When they can make failing rectifiers, they can make anything.

I've also seen few failed Illinois Capacitors plus their MOQ policy is just like ill, no wonder they don't sell anything when they tell you MOQ is 100k pieces

Cornell Dubilier is most likely OK. Samxon is OK when you select right series. TDK/EPCOS are likely OK, and there are few others japanese brands many have not even heard about before

Teapo - Samxon - samwha - And maybe elite - aishi - OST - Ltec - jammicon - Lelon

Cornell Dubilier, Illinois Capacitor

Re: If you had to choose a chinese/taiwanese/non japanese capacitor, what would it be

Taicon, Teapo, samxon , wurth polymers, apaq polymers (and a bunch of other brands as polymer caps aren't that problematic as electrolytic capacitors), and then maybe Lelon , su'scon, aishi , elite

[petehall347]

Re: If you had to choose a chinese/taiwanese/non japanese capacitor, what would it be

epcos
wurth
vishay .
others

[jazzie366]

I personally would go with Su'Scon or Lelon. I prefer Lelon though, I do think they make pretty good caps.
