    If the reference designator "F2" refers to that component, it is a fuse.

    Re: Post help identifying capacitors here

    Hi,

    I need to identify the voltage rating of a surface mount electrolytic capacitor. The PCB is from the handset unit of a cordless phone. There are two capacitors with that form factor on this PCB and they have the following markings:

    UCL
    100
    6v ('v' has a bar on top)

    330
    4S.
    L54

    I was able to identify the second one using this datasheet: https://www.badcaps.net/download/?id=9ea03ac4

    As for the first one, I thought it was a Nichicon UCL series capacitor but the markings do not match what is in the datasheet: https://www.badcaps.net/download/?id=59ea2b16

    The UCL datasheet indicates 'V' is used when the capacitor is rated for 35 Volts but such indication would be next to the capacitance value. If I interpret it as '6 volts', then I can't figure out the significance of the bar above the letter 'v'. This is an old product and maybe there's an older datasheet that describes this particular notation but I couldn't find it.

    Then I thought "maybe this is also a Panasonic capacitor and UCL is just the lot code" and I went through many Panasonic datasheets (available at the EU Mouser site) but I couldn't find one that exactly matches the "6v with a bar on top" indication.

    I appreciate any help that anyone can offer at this point.

    Thermistors cannot be measured because they are thermistors , and they depend on temperatures which is a variable . There is some specialized eq. to test them , but that's another story ..
    Thanks for the info, I will see what I can find and give it a shot

    My best guess is a capacitor of 2200pF, or some sort of varistor. I can not find any info online for the marking. It reads a resistance of 3.5 ohms and causes the fuse to blow when in circuit. It sits across a relay contact on the 120V AC side before the main input capacitor. See Pic.

    Thanks!

    About the ripple current, for computer motherboards, computer PCI cards, etc, is lower ripple the most desirable? I mean, doesn't that give you a cleaner signal?

    Is ripple always related to height? more height = higher ripple?

    Thanks for bearing with me.
    I tried "Nichicon LF datasheet" as a search result since Nichicon is a large brand in the Aluminum Polymer capacitor space. However, you would be able to get to the same datasheet by searching "LF Polymer Capacitor Datasheet". The format of the capacitor code also made me think it was Nichicon (you can get an idea of the formatting by looking at the non-FPCAP Polymer Capacitor Datasheets on here [e.g. Nichicon [polymer] CF series.pdf ]).

    The key with ripple current capability is that it is ripple current capability. This indicates how much ripple current the capacitor can handle in the input, not how much ripple current is in the output. Bigger capacitors of the same capacitance and voltage in the same series can generally handle more ripple than smaller capacitors of the same capacitance and voltage in that series.
    Let ne know if you have any further questions.

    From the LF and a little bit of searching, we can find out that this is a Nichicon LF series capacitor (datasheet here).
    When we look at the datasheet, on the first page under "Dimensions" we can see a breakdown of the meanings of the markings on the capacitor. From the "voltage" table next to the markings explanation, we can see that an "e" voltage code signifies a 2.5 volt capacitor.
    Now we can look at the second page with "Standard ratings". You can determine the exact capacitor you have by measuring the height with calipers or a ruler. Depending on the dimension, you will be looking for a replacement Aluminum Polymer capacitor with (9mm height) an ESR of 7 miliohms or lower and a ripple current capability of 4800 miliohms or higher or (12mm height) an ESR of 6 miliohms or lower and a ripple current capability of 5700 miliohms or higher. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

    " LF 680 e 672 " (e or 0?)

    I think this one is 680uF but what is the voltage? And how do you guess? Diameter is 7.8mm

    That's a standard and very common capacitor smd 330 microfarads , 50 or 63 volts .. You can find it in any donor board .

    The pads where it is missing are around 1.5mm apart so it should be really small.
    It would be helpful to know how i could use a multi meter to find one from the donor board.
    It's a smd capactor 560 picofarads or 0.56 nanofarads , 50 volts . Better test capacitors outside the donor board . Try find similar size and test it .

    Thanks Per Hansson and jiroy!

    I thought maybe they were inductors but I wasn't positive. I have one that is discolored, so much so that the marking is almost unreadable, and the ferrite "cap" has popped off so I'm pretty sure it needs to be replaced. I attached the above pic because the markings were clear. These are in a Samsung surround sound amp/cd changer. I'll order a few and replace the one that's lost its head and see what happens

    Thanks again!

    Re: Post help identifying capacitors here

    Those are discrete Through hole ferrite shielded radial choke inductors , and like Per Hansson mentioned , no need to replace , and they look super fine .
    About the marking , 1310A stand for 13mm x 10mm , A for tolerance 5% , and 1510A stand for 15 mm x 10 mm , A for tolerance 5% .
    Without labeling them with their inductance values , like mh inductance , makes them standard from any series from some unknown company . So the only way to know their real value , without a schema is to measure one of them . Next , you can have any similar 1310A , meaning 13x10,5% , from any other manufacturer , like this series attached , SRC1013 .

    Need help identifying capacitors on an MSI MS6163 ver 1. motherboard
    by varkatope
    Hey there, retro fans.

    I have an MS6163 version 1 board I'm trying to repair which was obviously used as a donor because it's missing a few parts, mostly capacitors. There are few high quality images online that would allow me to read the capacitor values (bad angle, blurry photos). I thiiiink I've figured out most of the values for the missing ones except for one in particular, number C210, which is in the bottom-left of the attached photo. Could someone with this board be so kind as to take a look at theirs and tell me the capacitance and voltage values of all the highlighted missing...

    After updating motherboard capacitors, what to do next (Asrock K7VT2, SOLTEK SL-75FRN2L)
    by dragon3x
    Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
    power on.

    Here are some examples :

    (N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
    switching supply area).
    (N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
    than 6.3 V.)

    1 - Motherboard #1 : this is an Asrock K7VT2 (socket A) that still works well. To put it on test
    I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.

    PCChips/Hsin Tech M537 V3.1 Old motherboard capacitors
    by mario_split123
    Hello everyone !

    I am new to this forum and also a begginer/hobbyist in electronics. I have a question about an old AT motherboard model PCChips/Hsin Tech M537 V3.1. It hasnt been powered on for 30 or so years.
    I have read that it is not safe to power it on after such a long time because capacitors can suddenly burst. When I inspect capacitors I cant notice any visible damage,leak,corrosion or bulged capacitors.
    What are your suggestions ? Replace all capacitors maybe or ?
    Thank you in advance for your answers !

    AA and AAA battery charger capacitors?
    by slybunda
    hey all, iv got my favourite battery charger here which iv had for many years probably 15 years now or maybe even more. it still works good but thought id open it up to clean the dust out of it, lots of dust inside but now its clean and noticed 4 capacitors inside it and wondered if i should replace them.
    it has inside:
    2 x 47uf 16v caps 105c branded as Su'scon (lol sounds sus to me)
    2 x 470uf 16v LZ105c branded as G.Luxon

    not heard of these brands are they any good?

    Solar Inverter - SMH-II - 2 missing capacitors
    by Cama
    Hello,
    I need help to find the value of 2 missing capacitors ( C102 and C117) on my Easun SMH-II mainboard (solar hybrid inverter). I circled it in red on the close-up picture. The 2 old capacitors are completely missing, so I have no reference. Does anyone have this board and can tell me the value or make an educated guess based on the location ?


    My model is : EASUN SMH-II 7 KW
    Mother Board : P/N 18947-002401250250
    Maybe the EASUN SMH-II 4.2 KW have the same capacitors


    Thank you...
