A member asked how to calculate Wet electrolytic capacitor lifetime.
I put together this calculator to make it easy.

Re: Want a Capacitor Lifetime calculator?
that's simple but usefull tool, davmax. thanks!
just want to add info that high voltage electrolytic capacitor like panasonic TS-ED, UP, HA, use a different calculation.
days are so short when you actually do something.. -

Re: Want a Capacitor Lifetime calculator?
Hi, can I assume this calculator works for the caps in a typical 80's vintage Pioneer stereo receiver?
Also, I assume the default values you have for max operating temp (105 deg C) and max life (2K) are typical for consumer electronics gear?
Thanks, nice job!Comment

Title:
Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition
Description:
During maintenance on an RTX 2070 SUPER Founders Edition, I found a capacitor lying on my desk after reassembly.
I did not notice it detaching, so I am unsure of its original location on the PCB.
Procedure performed:
- Removed backplate
- Cleaned heatsink and PCB with isopropyl alcohol + soft ESD brush
- Reapplied thermal compound
- Reassembled card
Observed behavior after reassembly:
- GPU powers on and operates normally under... -
there a risk of this aluminum electrolytic capacitor of electronic device long term storage opening and leaking acid and corroding the PCB board?

Guys. could you help me please to decode some codes of main capacitor's producers.
I would like to know the manufacturing date.
Based on the information from capacitors I have - it seems easy to decode manufacturing date for Rubycon, Nichicon.
If I understood correctly:
1. Nichicons marks date of production as (see the attached pictures) H2116
I don't understand the meaning of first letter - may be it is code of factory.
21 -year
16 week
I bought this capacitor recently.

Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.
I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.
I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
(yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)
I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never... -
Hi all,
I have a faulty monitor, the surface mount electrolytic capacitor 33uF 100V needs to be replaced, now I can't seem to source them locally
, so my question is can I replace it with a through-hole electrolytic capacitor of the same value? Or has someone got a better suggestion?
Cheerio...
