Samson (not SamXon) capacitors

[jonnyGURU]

We ran into these in some Topower built units.

When Topower was confronted about using counterfeit SamXon caps, they swore up and down that Samson was legit and provided this PDF:



As if this somehow makes me feel better about "Samson."

I tried to send this to http://capacitor.web.fc2.com/ a couple days ago to add to his list but have not seen it added, nor have I heard back from him. Perhaps he speaks zero English?

I dont know that I'd trust any capacitor from China. Reading what I could of the PDF; AFAIK, Shenzhen = place in China.

Re: Samson (not SamXon) capacitors

Haha, yea, it's probably just a coisidence that only one letter in their name is different, NOT!

What a bunch of morons

Re: Samson (not SamXon) capacitors

In the pdf there are pictures of all sorts of caps on PCBs - OSCON, UCC PSA etc..... but not their own ones.
Cool.
and a bunch of chimps could make a better pdf.

Re: Samson (not SamXon) capacitors

Re: Samson (not SamXon) capacitors

Just another crap caps manufacturer trying to hide in the shadow of Samxon in order to boost sales with Samxon's reputation.

I've seen Sammyxion, Samwha, Samyoung, and Samxion, and thats only the ones I can remember.

A day ago I saw another cap brand Hongda.

Now I wonder what company they were playing off ?

Boy will they be pissed when they find out that they don't manufacture caps .

As if Topower isn't dodgy enough already, now they are trying to rip off BFG with a crap cap scam...

We were trying to migrate the DNS to the new server last night (which was a failure). The link should work now.

They're not trying anything with BFG. We saw this in another Topower built unit. See HardOCP's Tagan review that went up today.

Yeah, I think the complaint was the the PDF was in Chinese.

I only mentioned CapacitorWeb because I emailed him and he didn't respond.

Re: Samson (not SamXon) capacitors

I couldn't make out head or tail out of that manual, but it is funny how pictures of other caps on mobo's and PCB's are liberally thrown in. Why would somebody throw in Sanyo or Matsushita pictures instead of their own?

Many thanks, Jonny.

I am very surprising after i read the pdf. Firstly, there is XCON brand, like Man Yue(Samxon) new solid caps brand "X-CON". Secondly, they claimed have relationship with NCC.

Thank you very much for these information, I will inform Man Yue soon.

P.S. Actually, this is a confidential document and use for company internal only from Samson.

Oh snap! I don't want to get anyone at Topower in trouble. They just sent me the PDF stating that the company is legit and does exist. Nothing about the doc being confidential.

Let's hope it doesn't vent and spill shit all over your data.

Don't worry. Yes, the company is legit. That factory is really very small, i understand why they don't have any informations on google.

You got the factory's profile only, i am interest to see their products(capacitors) datasheets more.
