    I'm trying to repair a car ECU that shows a fluctuating system voltage (between 6V and 13V in diagnostics) even though the battery voltage is stable. I suspect a faulty capacitor on the main power supply line.

    The capacitors in question are a small, yellow, ceramic capacitor located right next to the main power input pin (pin 12) and ignition (pin 13) of the main controller chip. There are no visible markings or codes on it.

    I've attached a close-up photo of the capacitors (pin 12 is constant + and pin 13 is ignition + ) and an overview of the board. I've checked the resistance with a multimeter and pin 12 capacitor goes for 0.8MΩ and pin 13 capacitor goes with 2.8kΩ. The ecu was under water so from my little understanding I suspect this could be the problem for the fluctuating system voltage

    Could anyone help me identify its likely value? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I'm recapping my IBM PS/2 P70 PSU and I've found information about most of the caps. However, there are 3 caps that are not found in any datasheet or in the web archive. They are labeled GM & GX.
    Someone told me that these are special purpose caps made for PSUs. I'm looking for Information about the Impetance and Ripple Current on these.
    RefDes Capacitance Voltage Mount Diameter/Size Height Lead Spacing Temp Type Brand Series
    C009 2.2 µF 400V Through hole (radial) 10mm 15mm 5mm 105C Electrolytic Panasonic GX
    C105 33 µF 250V Through hole (radial) 16mm 25mm 7.5mm 105C Electrolytic Panasonic GM
    C137 10 µF 250V Through hole (radial) 12mm 20.5mm 5mm 105C Electrolytic Panasonic GM

    can anybody identify this 10U_0603_25V6M

    10U_0603_25V6M
    i need to know what to replace this with i assume it is 10uf and 0603 size, 25volt, but what does the 6m mean, is it 20% 10%
    many thanks

    The "HC" marks indicate that these are Nichicon HC series - a low impedance type of capacitor. So you need to get the same type - i.e. match the impedance/ESR and ripple current to generally within +/-30%. The brands and series I listed in my previous post should all be close enough. So just look for, for example, Rubycon ZLH or ZLQ on Digikey, and you should be able to find good-matching replacements.

    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...

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

    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.

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

    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.
    3300 microF/6.3 V. x 4 replaced by 3300 microF/6.3 V. (KYOCERA...

    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?

    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

    After all of...

    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...
