Re: HITANO Caps
As these are not known good brand, don't recap with them. What country do you live in? Check the ‘suppliers' topic. -
Re: HITANO Caps
I have seen them in my local DSE (www.dse.com.au) store. Generally, they sell "general purpose" grade capacitors, which they assume they are being sold to hobbyists.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.Comment

A fellow Aussie! Woohoo!
Hows life in Rocky?
I order my caps from Mouser or Computek in the US as these are by far the most economical options I have found, being almost half the price of Ruby's or Nichi's from local suppliers.
Personally, I would not trust Hitano's despite the fact that DSE will tell you that they are reliable. I have used them on the rare occassion, but only when I was stuck for a 470uF x 16V replacement and was desperate. I doubt that they are suitable for motherboard power conversion applications.
There are plenty of other options available.
How many caps are we talking about and what values?Comment

Re: HITANO Caps
Hitano capacitors are not bad at all, this brand has been manufacturing capacitors for many years, and long before the plague of badcaps.

Useful conversions. I don't "speak" imperial. Please use metric, if you want to address me.
1km=1000m=100000cm, 1inch=2.54cm, 1mile=1609.344meters, 1ft=30.48cm 1gal(US)=3.785liters, 1lb=453grams, 1oz=28.34gramsComment

I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.
For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

Hello!
I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.
The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.
I have studied the board and... -
Hello everyone I have a question. I have a laptop and his schematic. Can anyone tell me how to measure or any way to understand specific of caps so i can buy new one?
Also in case how can I understand if some caps of some dead Mobo i have, are ok to be replaced in my new motherboard which im trying to fix?
Thank you! -
It's feeling like this board has a case of badcaps, instability and reboots - and not wanting to necro a a very old thread, it seems the 680uF 4V are highly suspect.
I don't really want to blanket recap everything, but maybe the others around that area could do with being changed?
Equipment: I have a temperature controlled soldering station, read the bit where it says set to 400F, don't think I would have gone that high without reading that.
Spring plunger solder sucker, and some desolder braid... and a bit of good old leaded 60/40.
PS. Additional diagnostic,... -
Hi everyone,
There actually was a time when early SMPS and late bakelite housed electrolytic caps coexisted in high end industrial gear. A friend of mine just got himself a CNC milling machine form that time with its first set of now 41 year old caps still installed in the PSU... and it's malfunctioning.
Two of the caps have already leaked slightly onto the board. I have not desoldered or measured any so far but they should qualify for replacement.
Now I'm wondering what to put in there as a replacement. First idea was state of the art low-ESR Nippon KY,...
