Is it correct to do? if not, why not?
If it is ok, how long ? 20-25cm sounds excessive ?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Extending capacitor leads?
The first obvious question is why would you want to do that.
The second is are you sure you mean 20-25cm that is 9 INCHES in English moneyPlease upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

Re: Extending capacitor leads?
Unfortunately I'm having a hard time to find out the correct size capacitor for the power supply of a LCD.
Yep, 8-9 inches is where I have space to attach it inside the LCD.Comment

Re: Extending capacitor leads?
Even a centimeter affects the impedance / ESR of a capacitor. In monitors, the lead size doesn't really matter much but 9 inches or 20-25 cm is quite a lot.
Also, depending on where you put it, the long leads could "catch" noise, like antennas, which may or may not affect the monitor.
Tell us what capacitors you need (uF value and voltage) and we might be able to recommend stores near you... and if there aren't any good alternatives and if I have the proper values in my personal stock I may offer to send you a few at the standard price plus a dollar or so for postage.Comment

Re: Extending capacitor leads?
Thanks for the answers, I won't be extending them.
The capacitor is 450V 120uF 105c - I've looked on stores here (Buenos aires @ Argentina) and didn't find any exact one - the one I bought (snap-in that doesn't fit) is 450V 150uF which appears to do the job just fine in my testing.Comment

Re: Extending capacitor leads?
That capacitor would only run at 120Hz at most, so it won't be that much affected by long leads but still 8-9 inches is a lot. I would say 2-5 inches would be no problem.
Sorry, I don't stock those large voltage capacitors because they usually don't die so often.
I use Farnell a lot here in Europe, I'd suggest looking at their export site or to their local distributor and see if they have the right size and capacity value:
http://tinyurl.com/d3o634s <-- Farnell's "export" site, link is shrunk because it's very long and the forum would break the link ...
It points to search results for 120uF and 150uF capacitors rated for 450v with radial leads (so you could solder it horizontally using its leads)
You should look at the diameter and height that would fit in the place you have on the board (height matters if you plan to put it horizontally on board) and then pick the one that has the best life time rating (105c preferred, the most hours)
If you still can't find one, you could also check "snap in" types and see if that gives you better capacitors.
Last... see how much they charge for shipping, in my case the shipping is relatively cheap at about 5$ for any sized package.
http://www.electrocomponentes.com/ <-- this is Farnell's local distributor, maybe they can get you the same capacitor with lower shipping fees or even have them in stockLast edited by mariushm; 08-07-2012, 11:14 AM.Comment

Re: Extending capacitor leads?
can you just put short legs on the snapin - I have a ps im working on and that is how the manufacturer did it - course it is a VesTel!!!!
Post a picture of the area it has to fit and we might be able to come up with ideasPlease upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

Re: Extending capacitor leads?
That is extremely useful mariushm, thanks!.. Will call those guys to check if they have/can get the same capacitor.
selldoor, will get that pic soon!
thanks both

Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!
For service manual, schematic, boardview (board view), datasheet, cad - use our search.Comment
) will hurt, if you want to be sure, use nice thick wire. Thin wire will have lots of inductance, and it will have a smaller current capability.

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... -
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... -
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,... -
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... -
a few days ago I finally purchased mser-100 v2 and I tested its abillity of measuring ESR value.
I found that It shows pretty accurate ESR value for electrolytic capacitor,But When I measure polymer capacitor of dreamcast game console,I found that one third of polymer capacitor's ESR value is more than twice the value of ESR meter table.(for example, I measured one polymer capacitor of 6.3v 100uf, It showed ESR value of 7.68)
Although my dreamcast now turns 20 years old but it still works. I occasionally have played game with it.
Is this ESR value of polymer capacitor correct?...
