Re: capacitor series

Rubycon ZL series should be OK. I have seen them used in some PSUs before.

Re: capacitor series

for psu you don't need the lowest of the low ESR caps.
Panasonic FC would be a reasonably good choice too from what I understand
...or whatever the equiv is the Asia region

Have a look through this post of Yanz's hard work to get some other options

Re: capacitor series

hmm... what about on motherboard ?? can the Panasonic FC series or Rubycon ZL series can be used ??

Re: capacitor series

While MBZ would be the better choice for some applications, FC and ZL would both be good series to use on motherboards.

Re: capacitor series

It all depends on the design of VRM. If there is plenty space for several caps, you simply don`t need anything beyond FC or ZL.

If it is a Value board, designed with a two phase VRM and may be 4x 3300uF KZG, i think Panasonic FC or ZL are not suitable due to to high ESR.
