    Depends on where they are used. If your talking in the VRM they will be fine.

  • another stupid polymer question (can going REALLY high ripple be bad?)

    I have an ECS with KGZ's with an ESR of 0.013. HM's are that low but mouser seems not to have any

    polymers seem like a possible replacement.

    they're 16V 1500uf KZG 0.013ohm, 2.55A
    I'm thinking 16V 1000uf 0.012 Panasonic OS-CON with an insane 5.4A

    is it really ok to go up in amperage that much? I know Higher ripple is generally better, but a ripple that high might have some effect i'm not aware of

    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?...

    Dell Optiplex GX260 - Advice Needed for Polymodding Motherboard
    by SwedishDiesel
    Howdy folks,

    I have an Optiplex GX260 that blew a couple of those troublesome Nichicon HM series (ultra low ESR) electrolytic capacitors. Because said caps are obsolete, they are pretty much impossible to find on the market; I did find a listing for some but I believe they are counterfeit. I feel the easiest thing to do would be to replace all the blown caps with polymer ones. I am by no means an expert in electronics, and I've found a fair bit of conflicting information, so any guidance or confirmation would be greatly appreciated. While from a practical standpoint it's not worth...

    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...

    Is there any high current pouch battery that are size 60mmX80mm maximum thickness 21mm for a battery operated tab welder
    by sam_sam_sam
    I have a battery operated tab welder and the battery does not have enough current for the battery tab welder because after about 30 welded it does not have the same current output it voltage has gone down by at least 0.500 volts or maybe a more than that

    I can fit 21700 battery cells in the enclosure it is very tight fit for four of them that are 35 amp high current capacity 35X4=140 high current output this should work a lot better than what is installed right now

    I tested the battery cells there are installed right now and they are testing good with no issues that I...

    What are typical ripple voltages on a laptop motherboard?
    by Antonynl
    I have here a HP pavilion hp 15-cs2975nd with a 1.095v power supply that is driven by a FDMF3035. I do see about 80mV of ripple on my scope. I searched through the datasheet to find possible values of the ripple but I don't understand the datasheet well enough.

    So I have two questions:
    1) what is the typical ripple voltages of gpu/cpu on a laptop or pc mobo?
    2) what would be the max ripple of a FDMF3035 that drives an output of 1.095V?

    Would be nice to have a rule of thumb of say a percentage of the supply voltage to be an acceptable ripple voltage....
