    Polyester Capacitor ESR

    What should a polyester capacitor 22nf 1000vh ESR should be ? I´m getting ~77 Ohms.

    ESR measurement is irrelevant for caps under 1uF as capacitive reactance at the measurement frequency comes into play too as the capacitance goes lower. Use a regular capacitance meter to measure those.

        Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition

        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...

        Power supply filter capacitor measurement in circuit
        by Fritter
        Hi
        Measuring a 400v 330uf capacitor across the bridge rectifier and in circuit with a multimeter on ohms. Measures 360 ohms both ways when polarity on the meter is changed. If this is normal, I'd like a brief lesson
        Thanks
