    Infamous Rubycon MFZ... Current recommended replacements???

    What we have here today is an Intel DG33FB motherboard, circa 2007... I need to replace some of the caps on this board... From what I have found, one of these caps was sort of well known here back in the day as they were used in XBoxes and XBox 360s as well....They are the Rubycon MFZ series, in particular the 6.3 v 3300uf 10mm X 20mm... I have found a seller on Amazon, The Capacitor Store, that has them listed but I have a hard time believing these are genuine pieces... The original recommendation was to replace any bad ones with Nichicon HZ series since the Rubycon MFZ's were a custom product, not even a datasheet available... The HZ's have since been discontinued, what would be the current recommendation here???

    Next I have a Nichicon KZG 6.3v 200uf 5mm X 10 or 12mm... Replacment???

    Along with the 3300uf caps, I also need to replace a Rubycon MFZ 10v 1000uf 10mm X 12mm... Which I assume will be replaced by the same series as the 6.3v 3000uf... I have attached some pics of the motherboard showing placement of all the caps in case usage helps with choice of the replacement recommendations...

    Thanks in adance for any help!!!

    I managed to buy a small quantity of Nichicon HZ 6.3v 3300uF for old jobs, but you don't need to use Nichicon HZ.

    You can use something like this instead:

    For the 6.3V 220uF cap (it's 6.3mm by the way, not 5mm), use this:
    https://www.digikey.com/en/products/...R0J221/9921019

    For 10V 1000uF, use this:

      Cyberpower 1500AVR UPS repair
      by quickname
      I'd like to start out by thanking this forum for providing the info to be able to repair my 15 year old CP1500AVRLCD UPS. Here is all the info I gathered during my trouble-shooting and re-capping.

      Like clockwork, I've had to replace the SLA batteries every 4 years. It was about that time and the UPS was acting like it needed new batteries... randomly shutting off with AC present, not being able to charge fully, and poor runtime when AC was removed. So, I replaced the batteries but noticed that it was not charging properly.

      I decided to verify that the batteries were...

      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...

      Diodes AP21X2SG-13 AP21X2MPG-13 Current Limited Power Switch for Laptop Computer Datasheet
      by Document Archive
      The AP2182 and AP2192 (AP21X2SG-13 AP21X2MPG-13) are integrated high-side power switches optimized for Universal Serial Bus (USB) and other hot-swap applications. The family of devices complies with USB 2.0 and available with both polarities of Enable input. They offer current and thermal limiting and short circuit protection as well as controlled rise time and under-voltage lockout functionality. A 7ms deglitch capability on the open-drain Flag output prevents false over-current reporting and does not require any external components.

      All AP21X2SG-13 AP21X2MPG-13 devices are available...

      Extreme High Current & Low Voltage Short Killer ??
      by DynaxSC
      Hi Folks

      I'm looking for a extreme high current short killer solution for a reasonable cost.

      I have an LGA1700 motherboard (ASUS PRIME Z790-P WiFi) where I exchanged the LGA socket already 3 times, and every time after the socket exchange I get a short of power supply lines VCORE (V variable) and VCCIN_AUX (1.8V).
      After taking off the socket, the shorts dissappear again.
      The soldermask on the socket is already partially demaged from the heat, so I have reconstructed the soldermask by manually painting the missing soldermask parts with a very small top of a...
