    I also reinforce that, given their era, this is not a polymer. I would replace it with a Panasonic FC but also Nichicon PM would be perfect (E.S.R. not too low and capable of handling high frequencies). I would derate and use a 10V replacement.


    EDIT: I confirm, electrolytic. As per specifictions in the inventory of a shop which sells N.O.S. parts. Picture attached.
    Thanks Hitto & PeteS in CA!
    I'll be ordering some nice electrolytics as replacements.

            Hello,
            Would anyone know where I could purchase a capacitor like this in the picture?
            Thanks,

              Mouser or DigiKey. But you can use just regular through hole capacitors too. You just bend the legs outwards.

                I don't know how to read the markings. Are you saying that either of those companies might have pictures on their site I can match this to? Thanks!

                  470uF, 10V

                  go for something 105c rated 470 uF 10V or 16V, at least 5000hrs rated.. Like
                  EEE-FK1A471GV
                  on Digikey.

                    That looks like Nichicon HC series. That's a through-hole series, but I don't see a plastic base or surface mount pads in your picture. For a while, Nichicon marked some of their through-hole series like that.

                      Mine are through hole with two legs. This one you mention at digikey looks like it's not through hole. Is this right?

                        Then just fit a regular through hole capacitor like
                        EEU-EB1A471
                        just watch the leg spacing, diameter and height.

                          The cap that scottl31 posted above is Nichicon HC series, as lti correctly identified.
                          EB series from Panasonic is not quite adequate in that case, if ESR and ripple current capability are to be observed.

                          Relatively close replacements would be United Chemicon KZE and KZH or Rubycon ZLH or ZLQ. All of these are readily available on both Mouser and Dikigey ATM. Just match the capacitance and the voltage (10V, 470 uF), along with the diameter. Height-wise, UCC KZH and Rubycon ZLH and ZLQ will likely both be shorter, since they are newer miniaturized series.

                          *edit*
                          Forgot to add... Nichicon HW and HV series would also be close enough (if not better), along with Panasonic FR and FS. These are also readily available on Digikey and Mouser.

                          Happy hunting!

                            Hi, first time I see I cap like this, I suspect it is anyway as it is marked as C124 on the PCB. The markings means 0.1uF, 400V?

                            Well the in circuit ESR shows around 88ohms, I suspect something is not right...

                              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...

                              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.

                              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?

                              iv attached photos of the charger and the board inside for an idea on the type of...

                              Panasonic switching power supply daughter board has two 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors which I do not keep in stock
                              by sam_sam_sam
                              I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow

                              This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board

                              I have a 2007-era Panasonic VHS combo that is full of of Elna RJG capacitors. I am trying to test the capacitors to diagnose the machine and then select replacement capacitors but I can not find any datasheets for them. I did find a Elna catalogue from 2007-2008 but there is no mention of this capacitor series. Where these specially made for Panasonic and so not made available to the public? Any ideas what to find out what the ESR values should be without the datasheets? They are all between 10V and 50V and 47uF and 1800uF. None are leaking or bulged but I know that they need to be tested to be...
