    kemet

    what about kemet caps guys? i have to change few amps swichmode primary capacitors and my supplier found for me that brand high temp and low esr and its gonna be expensive.thanks for any info .

    Re: kemet

    if you mean the black ones with gold print - they are good.
    but only on the inputs to switching supplies - i dont know about the outputs.
    unless you have the part number/series so i can look them up.

      Kemet has low impedance electrolytics?

        thanks for answer.no i dont have number i only have offer from my supplier for kemet caps.anyway i use only on primary filter i see on net that gold black ones they are good.the old caps i have to replace is daewoo FHT series 2200mf 200v 85c 3000hrs so nothing special .only i like to instal some more decend low impedance quality caps.for secondary i have all ready order panasonic and vishay.

          my supplier says that series he offer me is low impedance.today i ask for series number just to be sure what i by.

            Re: kemet

            I use kemet low impedence when I can't get nichicon or if the shape is more suitable. Haven't had any problems. I consider them pretty much on par with the top tier brands, but I'm not a pro.

              Kemet electrolytics and polymers are low-tier Chinese products and should be avoided.

              Their polymer caps are priced very competitively - but there's a reason for that. They are not on par with Japanese parts.

              If you want Chinese/Taiwanese polymers, save your money and buy Apaq from LCSC.

They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

                  Re: kemet

                  Kemet's lytics, https://ec.kemet.com/aluminum/ , seem to be made in the EU, and the part numbers are reminiscent of Rifa's part numbering system for lytics. They don't have the low impedance low voltage parts I mistakenly had in mind.

                          the order is done guys.i ask for part number but he told me dont remember excactly and he said is equal liga like nichicon and nippon.and its expensive.anyway i trust my supplier always they send me good quality and excactly what i have ordered.thanks all here.

                            The real problem with these types of issues (changing the amps) is not only the fact that it tend to be a little bit tricky to solve but also that the solution is always quite expensive.

                              I'm not an expert whatsoever, but I think that Kemet's impedance electrolytics is not exactly small. Far from it.

                                  Hi guys




                                  I have a MacBook Pro A1990 that takes 4.9 Volts and .592 to .615 amps on one port. The other port on the left side power cycles with about the same amount of volts an amps but quickly power cycles. The same thing happens on the other side but opposite. So on the left side the bottom port stays on and on the right side it's the top one. I think it is a CD3215 chip but I am not sure how to test it or where to get one. I have checked for voltage at ppbus_g3h and it has 12.6 V which is also on fuses f7000 and f7001 I checked pp1v2_s3 and it has 1.2 V then...

                                  Drying Oven - Preset Temp Fail
                                  by tmcw
                                  Here's an unusual one...

                                  This is a Gallenkamp oven, used in a laboratory space, goes up to 220 Celcius, but is usually maintained at about 115 Celcius. Used for drying glassware, molecular sieves, and so on. Oven is in excess of 20 years old.

                                  It heats up fine, there is an orange light on the front that indicates that the unit is heating, and when it reaches the preset temp, the orange light goes out. All good so far.

                                  However, after the preset temp is reached, the temperature continues to rise, power to the heating elements isn't cut off.

                                  Hi to all, my motherboard (bought second hand as faulty, but now working after cleaning the ram slots) have a strange failure that shows 0 Celsius degrees in BIOS, because of that, the CPU goes to protection mode and gets stuck at 800Mhz.

                                  Since its a 8-9 Intel generation, I know the CPU temp is the hottest temp of the cores (as i have read in intels documentation) so its not a diode or sensor on the board.

                                  External temperature (motherboard temp) is working OK, 27ºC more or less

                                  In windows, all the software I have tested shows correct the Core temps

                                  Customer came in with shorted USB C chips, replaced and the chips are now responding beautifully HOWEVER, I am only getting 5Volts .25 amps (sometimes .243 amps) I see that the T2 chip is turning on, but I am not seeing any voltage at the SSD rails for example,
                                  PP5VG3S_EN is not present which would somewhat indicate a PMIC U7800 issue, but I checked the voltage on the PMIC and that is present and not shorted. I tested for PP5V_G3S and those rails are not present.

                                  ISL9240HI is present, I am also getting 12.30 volts at PPBUS_G3H so no shorts there. Both CD3217 chips were successfully...

                                  Is 98C vram temp are safe? Less demanding games goes 80ish.

                                  Funny thing, there were old non stock thermal pads very botched, so i replaced them. After, temperatures remained the same, but performance (fps) improved significantly. With both thermal pad application GPU core temp was similar.

                                  furmark goes about 104C, amperage keeps rising so do temps.
