    Sansui AU9500, capacitor blows

    I have Sansui amplifier AU9500,, no sound, I found fuse 2 amperes, 7 amperes burns, I found too 3.3 uf 100 volts completly bulging under driver board, 1 transistor output 2SA679 shorted,and I found too the 4 capacitors 4700UF 63 volts they have not good value, I changed all these components and one of 2 capacitors 3.3 uf 100 volts is going very hot after 30 seconds, do I have power supply problem?

    A 7 ampere fuse burns out, too, when rated for only 2 amperes? Sounds like a bad transistor to me! (besides the bad caps, of course!)

      Yes, I change too 2 transistors audio output on the left channel, and same problem the 3.3 uf 100 volts under the driver board become very hot and blowing up

        you put the cap in backwards or the power supply needs work

          The capacitor was completly bulging before I work on the amplifier, I put the cap with good polarity and I put a 160 volts capacitor( original was 100 volts), I think problem is in the Power Supply

            did this amp ever work for you ? a little will be a big help ..
            the only caps i see with 33 is 33pf .

              What are the LOCATION NUMBERS of the componemts that you changed ? Which capacitor is getting hot? C???? For a capacitor to get hot it is either in backwards or has way too much voltage across it.

                Re: Sansui AU9500, capacitor blows

                hold on a bit .. no way too much voltage got the 100v cap hot . 3.3uf isnt a value in that amp as far as i can see .. if you cant work out board designator id tell us what it connects to . and if there are holes in the board for it . it is possibly a late addition from factory .
                some nice pictures will help .

                  Either something is drawing power like a SOB, or that cap is backwards or wrong value or high ESR.

                          In one version the caps were .01µf disc caps, and electrolytics in a different version.

                            so did it get fixed or not ?

                              My version is with electrolitic cap and when I change it I verify twice if it's polarity is ok

                                  I check voltage on the 2 electrolytics and it seems normal one gray wire have -49 volts and the other with yellow wire have +49 volts , they connect directly on bridge rectifier, I try to switch on amplifier and I remark distortion on one channel and after 1 minute the capacitor goes very hot

                                      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 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.

                                      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.

                                      Should I replace polymer capacitor?
                                      by chth96
                                      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?...
