    A Friend Gave Me Some Of These Caps?

    Hello All,

    A friend of mine give me some of each of these capacitors. I'm not sure if they could be used in monitors or other computer related applications? I took pictures of each one. Please tell me if you think they might work or if you need dimensions or additional pictures etc.

    Thanks In Advance To All That Chime In

    P.S. This is also listed under Identifying Bad Capacitors and Related Symptoms. But wasn't sure if that was the right place to originally to start?

      Good quality caps just not so great for Low ESR apps.

      Not Low ESR
      VZ
      NHG
      YXA

      Just barely Low ESR - not as good [not as Low] as Panny FC
      PL
      PF

      I'll look up YXB later [Pizza is ready!]

          YXB is a mystery series.
          Might be fake or a custom order cap.

              Hello To PCBONEZ & ALL,

              Great to know, was going to use today on a LCD monitor. I think my friend meant well. But I'll set them aside for now. I will go thru the regular channels.

                  I think YXB is just discontinued series. Either that, or custom order. I have seen them in some very old power supplies, though, including an old 75W AT PSU (Mitac SPU-75) for an old Pentium-based Compaq. The Mitac PSU is built and quite well and rated very honestly, so the Rubycons are most likely genuine.
                  I also remember reading on some website some time ago that YXB is equivalent to YXA. So YXB is probably 105C general purpose cap.

                      Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
                      by momaka
                      I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

                      For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

                      https://www.badcaps.net/filedata/fetch?id=3591772

                      It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

                      Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
                      by eryjus
                      Hello,

                      First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                      I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                      I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
                      ...

                      Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
                      by Paxman_Swede
                      Hello!

                      I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                      The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                      I have studied the board and...

                      HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
                      by momaka
                      Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

                      Help with switching power supply caps
                      by captain150
                      I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
                      I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...
