    Fake Rubycon & Teapo?

    I just got these in Indonesia.

    It seems obvious that the Rubycon is fake judging from the poor letter printings.
    The code "CE 04W - 0506" is another hint?

    The Teapo on the other hand, the letter printings are much better than the Ruby.
    But I can't find the datasheet for SD series. Or it's obsolete?
    Btw, does Teapo has Blue color?

    Thanks for any input.

      Re: Fake Rubycon & Teapo?

      Also, Rubycon has the "K" style vent. I also don't know if Rubycon makes caps rated at 85C. It is possible, but I don't have years or experience dealing with caps and brands.

          Yes, Rubycon does make 85°C caps. However, those pictured do not appear to be real Rubycon.

              Rubycon makes 85C caps, but they are usually just general purpose.

              Teapo use to make blue caps. Not uncommon to find blue teapo's in 3-4 year old psu's. Could be the SD series is now just obsolete.

              I've seen Fuhjyuu teapo knock-offs. Same colors as teapo, with the usual 3 pronged vent of Fuhjyuu but it looks like some workers scratched 3 little dots in between each prong. They were in a R-senda EPSpower-660 500W 80plus sample, just a carbon copy of a FSP epsilon by R-senda.

                  Rubycon always uses the 3-lined "K" vent.
                  Genuine Rubycon units are at: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=10015
                  My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

                      I agree. the rubies look kafe, but the teapo looks OK. It would be very sad if a company was trying to fake cheapo teapo of all brands.
                      I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

                              At first they seem to be 80's era Rubycons but I have Rubycon caps from the 80s and they look nothing like that.

                                      Just following up on my own post. I received a 2002 circa monitor yesterday and it has real Rubycon 2002 85C YK series with "K" vents and the raised bung.

                                      None of them look bloated, but I don't have an ESR tester.

                                          Teapo SD is obsolete yes. I came across the data sheet a while ago. Enclosing it in case someone need it for reference.

                                              they would have a figure 8 vent.

Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways.

                                                  Hi guys.I bought Macbook Pro mid 2014 15 inch model which did not came with charger.
                                                  I got new charger but judging by the specs seems it is fake one.Sadly I live in Bosnia and genuine charger is rare to find.
                                                  what to do?Should I use the fake one?
                                                  Will it damage the macbook?...

                                                  I decided to take one of the Rubycon capacitors out of a phat Xbox 360 with a Zephyr motherboard and noticed that all the Rubycon capacitors near the CPU were fake. The capacitors in question are Rubycon MFZ 680uf 6.3V and they all have a bullseye bottom, something not found in genuine Rubycon capacitors. None of them were leaking, they all have the K top, and the system has never been opened before. It appears Microsoft was using fake capacitors in the Xbox 360, or the Chinese facility where the console was manufactured in was using them and passing them off a genuine. Just thought I'd share...

                                                  Hi folks,

                                                  I have a couple of IBM NetVista desktop computers from around 2000-2001. They have Universal Scientific Industrial (USI) Pro286i motherboards, 733MHz Pentium III processors, and a whole bunch of bad Teapo capacitors. One board has visibly bad and venting capacitors, while the other doesn't look too bad so far.

                                                  The board with venting caps works fine, while the good looking board occasionally refuses to power on unless it's left for about 30 seconds after connecting the power - even with a known good power supply. (I am however aware I'll need to check the PSU...
