Re: Question electrolytic capacitor from 1990`s

I didn't understand, the manual is from 1985 but the manual was released with the device and that year the electrolytic capacitors of the device were brand new

And in 1986, these electrolytic capacitors were no longer new and it is necessary to do what the instructions recommend.

Re: Question electrolytic capacitor from 1990`s

Does this information only work on new electrolytic capacitors and not on electrolytic capacitors manufactured in the early 90's and early 2000's and assembled in electronic circuits?

Here is what is recommended for professional devices ( oscilloscope )

Re: Question electrolytic capacitor from 1990`s

Electronic devices that use electrolytic capacitors from the early 90's need to be turned on at what frequency of time interval to prevent failures from disuse? i have crt tv, snes, megadrive, ps2 slim, power supply

not are new capacitors are capacitors 90s

... electrolytic capacitors will ... depoarize ...

Ignoring the missing "l" (adjacent key errors are my frequent typo type), polarized (= normal) electrolytic capacitors don't depolarize. Very long non-use might lead to the aluminum oxide dielectric layer thinning (probably years of non-use, possibly excepting some cap types with water-based electrolytes), decreasing the voltage the part can withstand, but depolarization won't happen. Being polarized is part of the nature of an aluminum oxide layer dielectric.

Only posting when sober sometimes works, too.

...and reading the stickies will also help...

Re: Question electrolytic capacitor from 1990`s

my devices have electrolytic capacitors from the early 90's

Re: Question electrolytic capacitor from 1990`s

it takes very many years to depolarise a standard cap - your being fearmongered by assholes on other forums.

the type of equipment where we need to worry about such stuff is from the 1970's or older

Re: Question electrolytic capacitor from 1990`s

1 hour of device use is enough to fully reform the electrolytic capacitors?

Re: Question electrolytic capacitor from 1990`s

play them for an hour every year or 2 will be more than enough.

what reccomendation my case?

Re: Question electrolytic capacitor from 1990`s

I have one to play and one stored

Re: Question electrolytic capacitor from 1990`s

I can't use it every day, they're devices from my collection

Do you ever play/use them ?

Re: Question electrolytic capacitor from 1990`s

any real recommendations for me to use my electronic devices at intervals of time without compromising and failing electrolytic capacitors? are devices from the early 90's

When you want to play/use them.

Re: Question electrolytic capacitor from 1990`s

The reform of the electrolytic capacitor will need to be carried out periodically but I have doubts if this reform can be done by plugging the electronic device into the wall socket, I have electronic devices from the early 90's eg Snes consoles, PS2 Slim TVs CRT


Does the maximum time to carry out this reform depend on the age and brand of the electrolytic capacitor? in the worst case (brand and capacitor from the beginning of the 90s) what is the minimum time for reform?
