    Fake CapXon capacitors?

    Casing size doesn't match genuine CapXon, printing is much lighter as well. Bung is also different, looks similar to cheapo caps like Chong/ChongX/Chenxing/ChengX/.

    The spacing on the letters of the genuine (larger cap) is much closer than that of the suspicious one.

    Any thoughts?

      does it matter? they are still junk.
      they are playing on the name of SamXon who make some good caps (NOT GF SERIES!!!)

          Just inconsistency. They are probably genuine CapXon. Read: not a good thing.

          They are probably a custom order which is why they aren't in the datasheet. Light printing, spaced letters, using a bullseye flat rubber bung rather than a thick rubber stand-off ("gas escape end seal"), these are all characteristic of poor QC which rather defines CapXon and many an inconsistent Chinese/Taiwanese brand anyway.

          Yeah, Samxon / Man Yue is an okay brand excepting the GF (maybe SF too?) and GK series. Not sure if they are playing on the name of Samxon (both companies were established around 1980), but some other brands definitely do that (Samson, Samcon, etc).

                  ^This, who the hell counterfeits garbage like CapXon? That being said I wouldn't put anything past the Chinese, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone did make fake CapXons, but why?.

                          I just got into an Antec Basiq 500, they had 8x25 FC custom capXons that aren't listed on any of their sheets, the sheets are all 10x

                                  Hi,

                                  I have capacitors like this one in the photo. There are differences between other Elna series, I attach foto of Elna RE3. On this green capacitors series is not specified! Fake?...

                                  by Galraedia
                                  I decided to take one of the Rubycon capacitors out of a phat Xbox 360 with a Zephyr motherboard and noticed that all the Rubycon capacitors near the CPU were fake. The capacitors in question are Rubycon MFZ 680uf 6.3V and they all have a bullseye bottom, something not found in genuine Rubycon capacitors. None of them were leaking, they all have the K top, and the system has never been opened before. It appears Microsoft was using fake capacitors in the Xbox 360, or the Chinese facility where the console was manufactured in was using them and passing them off a genuine. Just thought I'd share...

                                  After updating motherboard capacitors, what to do next (Asrock K7VT2, SOLTEK SL-75FRN2L)
                                  by dragon3x
                                  Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
                                  power on.

                                  Here are some examples :

                                  (N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
                                  switching supply area).
                                  (N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
                                  than 6.3 V.)

                                  1 - Motherboard #1 : this is an Asrock K7VT2 (socket A) that still works well. To put it on test
                                  I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.
                                  3300 microF/6.3 V. x 4 replaced by 3300 microF/6.3 V. (KYOCERA...

                                  AA and AAA battery charger capacitors?
                                  by slybunda
                                  hey all, iv got my favourite battery charger here which iv had for many years probably 15 years now or maybe even more. it still works good but thought id open it up to clean the dust out of it, lots of dust inside but now its clean and noticed 4 capacitors inside it and wondered if i should replace them.
                                  it has inside:
                                  2 x 47uf 16v caps 105c branded as Su'scon (lol sounds sus to me)
                                  2 x 470uf 16v LZ105c branded as G.Luxon

                                  not heard of these brands are they any good?

                                  iv attached photos of the charger and the board inside for an idea on the type of...

                                  Panasonic switching power supply daughter board has two 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors which I do not keep in stock
                                  by sam_sam_sam
                                  I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow

                                  This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board
