Need Help to Identify this Capacitor..

[sycheah]

Hi everyone,
Im new to this website and I get to know it is a great forum. Recently my vga capacitor failed and I was finding the right capacitor for replacement but I dont understand the values stated on the capacitors. Can anyone help me?

Values stated on the capacitor:
FZ65
1500
6.3V

What is 1500 means? 1500uF?

Thanks..

Yes those are 1500uf 6.3 volts

Hi Selldoor,

Thanks for the reply...it is possible if I change to this type of capacitor?

Is there any different between the two types of capacitor?

Thanks.

I am not certain better wait for other comments. I cant really see from your picture if the ones you have are surface mount or through a hole. Do they have a plastic base?
Will the ones you suggest physically fit - height and width

The capacitor is soldered through hole and it did not consist of plastic based. I believe it is not SMT capacitor rite? If so, it is possible I replace the capacitor on the link i provided above?

Thanks

That is a 1500uF 6.3v rated electrolytic capacitor.

It's low ESR, so you have to use low ESR capacitors. Panasonic FK is reasonable but a bit too "weak" for that usage. It is cheap but not really suitable.

I would suggest using one of these instead (from best specs to lower but still better than FK):

You'll notice some are rated for 10v or 16v, that's fine. You can use capacitors rated for higher voltage but never the other way around.
