    Need some help Identifying Capacitor

    Hello,

    I was not able to locate any information on a capacitor I have. It says HEC on it - 1500uf10V. I need to get a replacement and was looking for the specs on it. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Don't understand your question. You want specs. on 1500uf 10v cap? All specs you need are on it.
    I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

      Sorry, I've only changed the capacitors on a TV twice. But the last time I did I was told I had to research the other values besides those I noted to ensure I get the right replacement. I think one value was ripple and the other ESR.... if I recall right. Is it just as simple to make sure I get the same V and uf?

      Thank you

        If it is for a power supply you would need low esr cap 105c temp.

            A good quality brand too. Rubycon, nichicon, panasonic

            It should say more than HEC. there should be a model name like SF, SM, ZB, just some of HECs radial models

              I've had this TV in my garage for almost a year. I never got the capacitors. I'm going to attach a picture of them. If someone could help me locate a good replacement, it would be appreciated. If I recall correctly, these are from the board for the power supply.

              Thank you

                remove it and see what else it says.
                or just use panasonic FR series.

                  HEC capacitors are crap and well-known to fail. Replace all HEC-branded capacitors on your power supply.

                  That said, without knowing the series of this HEC (should be a 2 or 3 letter code), I can't tell you what would be a precise replacement. But in general, the following are caps I typically use in switching power supplies:
                  Nichicon: PS, PM, PJ, PW, PA, HE, HV, HW
                  Panasonic: FC, FR, FM, FS
                  Rubycon: YXJ, YXG, ZL, ZLH
                  United Chemicon: LXY, LXZ, LXV, KY, KYB, KZE, KZH
                  In all likeliness, any of the above listed brands and series will work as a replacement.
                  Digikey and Mouser should have most of these. Badcaps.net/store may also have some of these.

                      1500 mF микрофарад не меньше 10 вольт по размера там любой влезет напряжение если больше на новом будет ни страшно емкость на 30% можно выше если такого же не найдете

                            Yes i love Nichicon MUSE Audio Capacitors...they would look awesome all over any motherboard

                                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.

                                (yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)

                                Help identifying missing smd capacitor for HP elitebook 840 g3
                                by Ambro
                                In an unfortunate mishap while attempting to read from the bios chip, one of the smd capacitors took flight and disappeared.

                                I'm not sure how crucial this smd capacitor is, but it was a brown possibly ceramic one with no notable markings on it anywhere.

                                I've attached a picture of where it's located on the board.



                                Does anyone have an HP elitebook 840 g3 who might be able to aid me identifying this component. I'm not sure how crucial it is, but didn't want to risk it.

                                Thank you for any help you can provide....

                                by grimacelord
                                Hello,

                                I have sort of a weird one here. This is the circuit board for a Kar-Tech VERSA remote. It's a wireless transmitter for crane and other heavy equipment.

                                One of the capacitors have blown and I need help finding a replacement. The capacitors are 11.4mm x 6.6mm in size and the only imprint on them is "200mΩF", which I am assuming means 200 microfarads. There is no other markings on them. I have tried doing some searching on digikey and mouser, but I can't seem to find anything like this on there or I am inputting the wrong search parameters....

                                PS5 Edm-010 No Power - Help identifying missing capacitor
                                by krob80
                                Hey everyone. I recently acquired a PS5 that is not turning on (no beep/power). PSU is good and there is no shorting on the 12V rail.
                                It came with a Gen3 SSD installed so I feel that things went down hill for the previous owner when it was installed. F7003 was blown but there was nothing shorting to ground. I replaced the fuse but still no power (new fuse is still good for now).
                                When connecting it to a bench power supply, it only pulls 10 mA (doesn't spike when first connected).
                                I noticed that there are a couple capacitors missing from the Vcore power regulator (pictures attached)....

                                by chunk69
                                Hi friends,

                                I recently acquired an old PC power supply (along with several vintage motherboards from late 90s/early 2000s). The PSU was dead upon first test, but quickly identified the internal fuse had blown. I fixed that, re-tested and i'm pleased to report it seemed to work great after that - no obvious issues or reasons for the fuse to blow.

                                Afterwards, I inspected the capacitors more closely and noticed one pair required replacement. They weren't in bad shape by any stretch of imagination, but one was slightly bulged, and I wanted to swap them out for good measure....
