Ltec Caps? From a Netgear Gigabit switch.

[AudioCraZ]

Ok, I have a Netgear Gigabit switch that died a few years ago. Decided to get it working again, and one of the caps that died was a 1000uF 10v cap. Ltec? Green with Gold lettering and negative mark. Dunno if the caps are actually bad ones, or if sitting next to the heatsink caused it to pop. Marked 105C Temp (M) YB105. Anybody seen these?

Already ordered my replacement caps, just couldn't find anything on these caps. Will post pics once my main system is running again.

The logo for the LTEC looks a lot like the Lelon logo. Oval "ford"ish logo with cursive letters. Same company?

LTEC are bad caps. They sometimes do OK in PSUs, but are bad everywhere else.

Thanks, the other caps are Taicon's, but I want to replace the bad one first, see if that fixes the issue, and then replace the rest.

Ltec and Taicon are both taiwanese and both about the same grade as teapo.

That is adequately cooled they can do ok for a little while in power supplies, very popular in deltas.

Otherwise change them out.
