Panasonic FJ capasitor

[yanz]

This is my dirty hand (and a panasonic FJ)









I still couldn't find the datasheet of this pannys while more and more motherboards and vga cards use it.

Compared to the FC..

[series]		[size, mm]		[ripple current, ma]

FJ 1500uF 16v ->	10x23			unknown

FC 1500uF 16v ->	10x30			1815
			12.5x20			1655
			16x15			1690

..at the same capacitance and diameter, their height are different. What do you think?


Panasonic's website is the worst/hardest one to search the data, not like rubycon, sanyo, or chemicon pages.

FC:

FJ ???

Re: Panasonic FJ capasitor

I have a bunch of those, I've found no data sheet either...

Re: Panasonic FJ capasitor

Hi, MD Willington

do you actually have used this caps? what's your experience?

i've already use it for recaping some mobos and psu's, and find no problem. the quality of this caps remains mistery, but i got the feeling that this caps is between FC and FM. at least that's what i hope.

this is a generic psu that i've recapped a while ago. we can accept weak psu's as long as they are reliable, so i recaping most of them in my netcafe and office systems (tea plantation/pabric). the original caps are some su'scon and koshin.



that 10mm FJ is very suitable for such a tight room while other 12,5mm caps (elna RJJ, ruby YFK, panny HFQ) are placed with such a luck to fit in there.


compared to the FC and FM, the FJ are smaller in dimension in regards to their voltage rating and capasitance.

uh. and i wish i can edit my post!!

the FJ i am talking about is 10mm x 20mm, so it is even smaller then the FJ or FM!

Re: Panasonic FJ capasitor

Sorry, I have not used them yet...been quite busy, I have a daughter due any day now.

Re: Panasonic FJ capasitor

seems odd that no info exists on the panasonic site about these fj series.
i saw a pic of a fj with a flat recessed bung that looked counterfiet.

Re: Panasonic FJ capasitor

In my limited searches I've found nothing either...

Re: Panasonic FJ capasitor

Any updates on this one ?

I got some 3300uF @6.3V laying around but I couldn't find anything on them either...

Did anyone contact Panasonic to see if these are real ?

Thanks in advance

Re: Panasonic FJ capasitor

yanz and MD Willington, any input will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Panasonic FJ capasitor

Here is Panasonic's discontinued products page for capacitors. I don't see an FJ series. This is the page that indicates that the FA series has been discontinued.

Re: Panasonic FJ capasitor

they are still not in current list or discontinued list, even after all these months. must be fake. good fakes though.

[MD Willington]

Re: Panasonic FJ capasitor

Used them in an ECS-K7S5A...they work...

no other info available though...

Re: Panasonic FJ capasitor

i see only hits from china. maybe china specific product?

if you use google translate, can see this badcaps site from china. they have forum as well.

Thanks for the link willawake, HERE they say :

The Matushita electric capacity (Panasonic) quite is rare on the main engine board but also is belongs to Japan is an electric capacity

The characteristic is the T character explosion-proof grain and the M mark

Re: Panasonic FJ capasitor

When I looked at the pix last week, something seemed odd to me about the logo and series markings:

"+105 C FJ"
"M" (logo)

When I looked at some FCs and FMs that I'm currently torturing, I realized what seemed odd last week - the order of the markings is different:

"+105 C"
"M (logo) CE FM" or "M (logo) CE FC"

Something I just noticed, the legs of the "M" in the logo of the FC and FM parts I have are straight and turned in at the bottom of the legs. The legs of the "M" in the logo on the parts in the pic seem crooked in the middle of the legs. Also, the "M" in the logo of the parts I have is thicker than on the parts in the pic.

Re: Panasonic FJ capasitor

I once saw FC that said:
"+105 C FC"
"(M)"
(the '(M)' is meant to be the logo)

The ones I have here look just like yanz's :

+105°CFJ
M

But now I see some like this :

+105°C FJ
  M

Re: Panasonic FJ capasitor



C FJ as opposed to CE FJ is ok in my opinion.

I was looking at positioning of the logo also compared to the text but on each value of FC i have it is different.

Doh. This is still no 1 on google search For you who found this thread from google,

Panasonic FJ Capacitor:

Made in Malaysia :




Thanks to Willawake for his superb googling skill
