    Almost there, finding the right cap for PSU.

    Hi people, well after many days of researching, having known nothing about capacitors I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    I'm replacing 2 caps in my TV psu unit but still a little confused about the ripple values and generally a bit confused.

    Here's what the reading is on the caps I'm replacing and the make (I think).

    (M)
    HC CE(M)
    105 C
    270UF
    400V
    Japan

    Now I have no idea what the correct ripple value should be on the replacement cap and what other values are important, from what I understand, getting a caps with a high ripple value is good.

    Is there anything else I should consider to be very impotent why buying replacement caps.

    I just need a little more info (I hope) before ordering.

    Any advise will be most appreciated. Jon.

    Re: Almost there, finding the right cap for PSU.

    Hi - is there some reason you are replacing this particular cap - bulging/damaged/leaking? Japanese caps are usually pretty good and this I am guessing is a Large cap which normally dont need replacing.
    A picture of it would help, though I guess someone will be along who can recognise it from the info given. If the (M) is a logo it may be instantly recognised.
    If you want to match the ESR and ripple values then you must identify the cap
    get the data sheet then match or better the values with the cap you buy as
    one the same may not be available. With large caps esr is not always stated
    - they are under less pressure than middle range caps so it is not so important.
    Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

      Hi, yes I think the M could be the logo it's in a square box.

      I've just opened a thread in the PSU section, the problem I'm having is with my TV psu it's making a clicking noise under load (when brightness,colour etc is turned up) fine other wise

      Here's a link to another thread, the guy over there recommended changing these 2 caps, I have to say they look fine to me as do all of the caps on the board, the noise is coming from the inductor which is odd as it has no moving parts, take a peek if you have time I'm still a little on the fence about it:http://www.tv.quuq.org/forum/index.php?topic=6669.0

          Thanks again Tom, after looking at my posts do you think it's likely the PSU has a dodgy inductor?. I posted a reply..basically asking the best way to go about Varnishing the thing.

            Recapping Sony ICF-SW55 - verifying cap values
            by proxneo
            Dear reader

            I am performing a repair on a Sony ICF-SW55, which includes recapping (some) of the SMD capacitors on the mainboard. I am looking for verification of their values. At the moment, I'm 95% sure I've got the right values, but it is hard to find some official, credible or multiple independant sources on this.

            At the moment, I have selected replacements based on the following list of values:

            3 x 470uF 10VDC
            3 x 4.7uF 35VDC
            4 x 47uF 50VDC
            8 x 22uF 6.3 VDC
            1 x 220uF 6.3VDC
            5 x 100uF 6.3VDC

            Which...

            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...

            Different (lower) resistor values on PCB?
            by Kobok
            Dear Alls,
            For sure it id a stupid question, but help me to understand. I am in a Dell 2007WFP revitalizing project - searching reason why not starting. Some resistors needed to replaced is is obvious. When I have soldered some resistors the measured (with multimeter) values were sometimes rather different written on them. I supposed these are wrong units so I desoldered and made a checking measurement and voilรก the values is the same is written on. This happens only in case of a few resistors, most have the same values (+/- 10%) are written on it. "strange" SMD resistors =>103...

            Here some measurements on HP Victus 16-d0500la, it might help someone, the values are on diode mode->mV and some lower ones on Resistance->ฮฉ.

            This specific laptop has an Intel i5 11400h + RTX 3050TI, the values are from a working laptop....

            Is there a manufacturers tolerance for ripple?
            by Ady2017
            Hi all

            I need to replace a 680uF 35V SamYoung NXB cap which has got a ripple of 1820. Whilst passing my local little electronics shop I picked up what they had in stock which was a 680uF 35V Panasonic FC with a ripple of 1655.

            As the ripple rating is only 9% below what the original was I am wondering whether to risk it and fit it.

            The catalogues specify a capacitance tolerance of +/-20% but state nothing about the ripple. If there is a similar tolerance for ripple then I might be worrying about nothing. Does anybody know?

            Thanks
