    A CHEAP source for ceramic caps?

    Can someone recommend a good source for ordering a variety of ceramic caps? pF all the way to hundreds of uF in a pack would be ideal ... delivery times are not relevant, just looking for cheap.

    I'm seeing more and more often where specs are moving away from electrolytic caps, but most of the variety packs you get on Amazon only include ceramics with extremely small values ... I needed a couple of 10uF the other day and i only have ceramics in the small pF ranges ... very frustrating!

      I've got some capacitor sample books from Aliexpress. I had to add a few of the higher values (uF).

              Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
              by momaka
              I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

              For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

              https://www.badcaps.net/filedata/fetch?id=3591772

              It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

              Casing Power MPT-301 [PCB ATX9806b-p REV: A3]
              by momaka
              This one should make @Pentium4 smile (if he is still reading BCN forums) – I got a new old stock / open box Casing Power MPT-301 PSU on eBay for $4 total.


              Yes, it’s a very generic-looking box, but the manufacturer isn’t (at least not back in the days), which is…

              Macron Power Technology Co. LTD.

              Let’s look at the PSU itself.



              The shell/case also appears quite generic, like many “sold-with-the-PC-case” units. However, the shell is well-formed and has decent steel thickness. In terms of...

              TCL 43s405 power board 81-PBE045-M02 (PLE100-2A) changed out the cheap caps
              by link626
              changed out the cheap HEC caps on my tv power board to a mix of nichicon chemicon and panasonic caps below.

              now there's louder buzzing noise from the yellow thing in the upper left corner. (anyone know what that yellow thing does? is that the transformer?)
              and the screen flickers in brightness. It's a light flicker, but noticeable.

              the buzzing ebbs and flows, like cicadas buzzing.
              in similar fashion, the brightness flickering ebbs and flows. the flicker might stop for a minute or two.

              these are all low esr caps, and I'm wondering if that might...

              Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
              by eryjus
              Hello,

              First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

              I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

              I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
              ...

              Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
              by Paxman_Swede
              Hello!

              I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

              The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

              I have studied the board and...
