    countin machine - bad capacitor

    recently removed a bad cap, SWC 470uF 50V cap (it was blown).

    Would a capacitor rated at 16V work as fine??? I'm saying this because I can't find a capacitor that's 470uF and 50V.

    The cap is rather small.

      If your voltage is well below 16V, say 12V or lower, then yes. You can use your multimeter to verify. If you get it wrong, the 16V cap will go POP when voltage is applied.

      Digi-key has 470uF 50V cap at

          Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition
          by MORETTIGIAN
          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...

          RTX 3080 FE Identifying capacitor
          by Prolog
          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...

          Dick Smith Q-1760 linear power supply filter capacitor question
          by Agent24
          I have acquired a used Dick Smith Q-1760 power supply - although the OEM is Manson Industrial
          It has at least one problem.

          The voltage control potentiometer VR2, 50K is faulty - going high resistance / open circuit in the CCW end and leading to the output voltage jumping around.
          I have already ordered a replacement potentiometer, so that's not an issue.

          Now, I want to replace all three electrolytics on the PCB as they are CapXon and I don't trust them so much, I will replace them with something better while I've got the thing apart anyway.
          All are CapXon...

          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...
