Re: "WC" brand capacitor
Wow I saw one of those caps on a monitor I recapped and I replaced it just because I didn't like the looks of it.
Sometimes when troubleshooting I get gut feelings like when I was repairing a ballast supply on an Infocus X3 a few days back. I replaced the faulty caps and I felt that it wasn't going to work.
So I go and plug it in and what do you know it didn't work
. I missed a few bad semiconductors so I replace them I felt confident and it worked.
Trust your gut on some things you'll be glad you did.
I thought the cap was manufactured by Westinghouse.
I have recently seen them selling monitors at Target. I thought since they were so diverse in their product lines that it would not be odd if they had a capacitor line too.

Re: "WC" brand capacitor
I found these toilet "WC" capacitors in a 250Watt FSP PSU

No signs of bulging however.Leave a comment:

Re: "WC" brand capacitor
Yes, unfortunate choice of name... hopefully it stands for "Wicked Capacitor" or something.Originally posted by PeteS in CALeave a comment:

Re: "WC" brand capacitor
Not familiar with the brand, but I'm cynical enough to think that "WC" indicates its quality and where it belongs.Leave a comment:

"WC" brand capacitor
In a Powerman FSP235-60GT PSU, there was some "WC" branded capacitors; HG series. The "W" resembled the stylized Westinghouse "W".Attached Files -

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... -
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... -
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... -
Want to repair some broken floppy disk drives. I need help to identify the brand of this capacitor to find a suitable replacement.
Did someone know the brand of the capacitor or a suitable replacement in terms of esr / ripple?... -
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.
I found catalogue of samwha capacitor(samwha-catalogue_3.pdf file), which is attached to this thread,...
