    Xytronic LF-389D capacitor quality

    Hello!

    Some time ago I got myself a new soldering station as I was planning to start doing some more soldering. This soldering station is mains powered so is probably not the best but it seems miles better than my old cheap one. I have not really been using it much, but I read that the Xytronic stations have bad caps so i decided to open it up.

    So as far as I can see there are only 2 caps:

    VLSOM 470 uF 25V
    STONE 100 uF 25V


    So the question is if I should replace them with something better? If so what would you recommend? I can get Rubycon and Panasonic quite easily. See the attached pics for more info.


    Any input is appreciated!


    Edit:

    Realized that I might have posted in the wrong sub-forum.

      I would go with replacing these units with something better; even though my preferred brand of electrolytic capacitor is Chemi-Con, Rubycon and Panasonic are just as good.
      My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

              Does WCAP-ATG5 has similar or better quality than smahwa capacitor?
              by chth96
              I want to replace samhwa RG 250v 1uf capacitor which has no ESR value and has capacitance less than 280pf.
              It is possible to purchase WCAP-ATG5 in local electronic shop.
              But I want to know that whether WCAP-ATG5 capacitor has similar or better quality than smahwa capacitor or not.
              Is there anyone who has experience to replace any bulge or faulty cap with cap from Wurth Elektronik?

              Recommendations of quality soldering station and (separate) hot air station
              by caprider
              Hey,

              I'm looking for some recommendations of a decent quality soldering station and a separate hot air station. I'm just a hobbyist, so even if (ultra)premium tools are not required, I still want some good tools. They should be available in Europe.

              I now have a TS100 and some soldering irons and looking for some better tools.

              1. Soldering station, budget around 200-240€
              JBC BT-2BWA seems to be a good product in the budget.

              2. Hot air station, budget around 200€
              Up to now I've found ATTEN ST-862D to be a good option....

              If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
              by chth96
              I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
              Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
              It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
              So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
              I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...

              How can I test non-polarized capacitor?
              by chth96
              I desoldered samwha NF capacitor(50v 5.6uf) from PCB circuit of 29inch CRT TV which have symptoms of no display after I heard sound of inrush of current to TV whenever I switch on this television.
              I measured ESR value of this non-polarized capacitor(samwha NF capacitor 50v 5.6uf) by means of MESR-100 ESR meter and It displayed 0.3 ohm

              And When I measured its capacitance with digital multimeter and LCR-T4 Mega328 meter, It displayed 10uf from DMM and 8uf from LCR-T4 meter.
              I found catalogue of samwha capacitor(samwha-catalogue_3.pdf file), which is attached to this thread,...

              Is it no harm to replace with capacitor without ripple current rating?
              by chth96
              When I tried to repair LG 29 inch CRT TV, I found that the ESR value of samyoung SMS capacitor(160v 2.2uf), which is very close to D1879 transistor, is 6 ohm.


              Judging from above ESR Meter Table,I think It is necessary to replace this sms capacitor.So I visited local electronics shop,and I purchased 160v 2.2uf rubycon YK capacitor.
              But when I browse through rubycon YK datasheet,I found that there is no ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf specification. But On the contrary, I found 39 mA ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf SMS capacitor.
              Rubycon YK DataSheet (b...
