    ZLH Vs MCZ.

    Hi all,I've got quite a few iMac G5's to repair and am waiting delivery from here of a few hundred 1800 6.3 MCZ's for them,in the meantime I had enough Rubycon ZLH's to repair a couple of boards,they've been running for a couple of days fine,I checked the specs of both and the ZLH ripple is 1800 ish to the MCZ's 2300 ish,the rest of the specs are near identical except the ZLH has a 10000 hr life @ 105degrees celcius.
    Does anyone use these caps and will I have problems later on?,client isn't in a rush to have these back,so it would be little hassle to recap once Chris's delivery arrives.
    Much appreciated.

      ZLH are not as low ESR as MCZ.

          The Ripple spec basically tells you how much Ripple the cap can handle without over-heating internally.

          When you go with a cap with a lower ripple spec than original all bets are off in so far as longevity.

              Hmmm,what I thought,looks like 48 caps are consigned to the bin!.Thanks for the heads up.

                  ZLH are good caps in the proper applications. It's not like they are guaranteed to died young either. The original caps may have been over-spec'ed and ZLH are fine. But there is no way to know for sure. That's why I said the bets are off.

                      I agree,a bit between a rock and a hard place,me,to keep clients happy and myself,I'll wait for my MCZ's from here and sleep a little better!.

                          I have ASUS TR-DLS server boards which have ZLH in the VRM. The ZLH is rated for long lifespan, not low ESR. Servers are used 24/7 so maube that's why they specified ZLH.

                              That's a Pentium III board, no? Pentium IIIs don't need as low ESR in the VRM when compared to newer CPUs.

                                  what?! did you really just throw away 48 caps ?

                                      HD, ZL, WX, KZE are all typical caps to see in a P-III VRM.

                                      ZLH have a bit lower ESR than that group.
                                      It's a proper application for ZLH and ZLH are better than minimum.

                                      You should have a warm fuzzy about ZLH on a P-III board.

                                          Is it no harm to replace with capacitor without ripple current rating?
                                          by chth96
                                          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.

                                          What are typical ripple voltages on a laptop motherboard?
                                          by Antonynl
                                          I have here a HP pavilion hp 15-cs2975nd with a 1.095v power supply that is driven by a FDMF3035. I do see about 80mV of ripple on my scope. I searched through the datasheet to find possible values of the ripple but I don't understand the datasheet well enough.

                                          So I have two questions:
                                          1) what is the typical ripple voltages of gpu/cpu on a laptop or pc mobo?
                                          2) what would be the max ripple of a FDMF3035 that drives an output of 1.095V?

                                          Would be nice to have a rule of thumb of say a percentage of the supply voltage to be an acceptable ripple voltage....

                                          Hi all

                                          I need to replace a 680uF 35V SamYoung NXB cap which has got a ripple of 1820. Whilst passing my local little electronics shop I picked up what they had in stock which was a 680uF 35V Panasonic FC with a ripple of 1655.

                                          As the ripple rating is only 9% below what the original was I am wondering whether to risk it and fit it.

                                          The catalogues specify a capacitance tolerance of +/-20% but state nothing about the ripple. If there is a similar tolerance for ripple then I might be worrying about nothing. Does anybody know?

                                          Thanks

                                          Lenovo 530 Vcore : what is the maximum ripple?

                                          Hi

                                          I have a Lenovo 530 14ikb i5 8th gen motherboard and it fails to start Windows: it normally dies after I try to load Windows. Getting into bios screen works fine.

                                          Made some measurements and I suspect that there is to much ripple on the 2 Vcore coils.

                                          What is normally the maximum ripple allowed on say any of the power supplies? A few %??

                                          The ripple is on both Vcore as outlined in red in attached photos.

                                          Could be a bad driver?

                                          Cheers...

                                          Hi fellow troubleshooters. This is my first post on badcaps. I've recently setup an electronics workbench. i'm also building a studio with old equipment bought faulty at low cost.
                                          I've been into electronics since the mid 80's and particularly in the last few years though only getting hands on with repairs now. My knowledge gaps are significant so I'll be posting here to seek guidance advice and general practical applied learning.

                                          On my bench today is an old ca. 1993-95 Akai hardware sampler. This runs on both a linear and Smps supply. Both are getting on in age and ripple...
