Are Jackon good caps (alone sold)

[Calchaqui]

Well, here in my country is almost IMPOSSIBLE to find Low ESR caps for mobos.
To made just my second recapp, I've bought old cheap Asus for u$6 (toasted) to pull out its caps (k7m has like 32 caps, all excelents).
But they are hard to find here, and I need caps, the only ones I've found are JACKON newbrand ones :

Are they good, the sellerman says they are (for sure) excellents.

Although I've seen some Jackcons that are still good, I've seen many other bad. They're widely used on Abit boards.

Topcat has tried Jackcon caps in December 2003. Here is a link to the thread: Link

Re: Are Jackon good caps (alone sold)

i just pm topcat to see what happened with that story. maybe a change from the Jackcon which had busted their bungs and leaked shit on every abit board i had repaired. damn green bastards.

Re: Are Jackon good caps (alone sold)

Yes, maybe the stronger reason to think so it's that JACKCON caps are CHEAP.
Right now the sellerman sells 10 Jackcon caps 1500uf 6.3 for u$1.80 .
But , why the ***** Wikipedia in this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_Plague

says : "Admitted
Jackcon — The only capacitor manufacturer to own up to their mistake; they are also the only one to issue free replacement capacitors to people who had theirs fail. Their new products appear to be of greater quality. "

I dont see, right now, any mobo maker using Jackcon .
Is Wikipedia right? , who writted that article?, there's a link to this web also.

Well, i've posted before read https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=68&
Now i think that maybe Jackcon is different from Chsi, Wendell, G-Luxon ,at least they've got a web site .

Maybe their 'updated electrolyte formula" is that good?

You are right, if some failed, I dont think they could work in a hotty vrm next to a 110ªc coil for more than one year.
I still cannot get goodcaps in Argentina, I can get some good brands (nichicon, panasonic), but no 105ªc , are they good?.
And what about Tayco/Taico/Taicon !? are they crap?

this is local representative of RS components. they will be able to order for you Panasonic FC capacitors.

it is not recommended at all to use 85oC parts. you must use 105oc which are Low ESR.

If a few caps fail from a manufacturer, then I wouldn't purchase caps from that manufacturer, ever. I guess Topcat can e-mail Jackcon about that if he didn't dispose the bad Jackcon caps, then he can get more free caps if Jackcon agrees to send some over.

Tayco/Taico/Taicon are all crap.

You know you could have just as easily Private Messaged (PM) him instead of a useless post.

Re: Are Jackon good caps (alone sold)

Jackcon made some unusually small caps. I have a Jackcon 1000uF 16V with a can size of 10x13mm and a 2200uF 25V 13x21mm Jackcon. I haven't found any caps that small from any other manufacturer.
