    I think WC stands for WASTED CASH.

          Yup, that's what it stands for in Europe.

            Exactly where it and a vast majority of other electrolytics belong.

                I also have the same "HL" series capacitors from "WC". First I thought it was just a "C" with a crown on top, later I checked out the capacitor ID site, and they showed it as WC and possibly Hermei.

                And indeed, here is their datasheet. HK's datasheet shows it as lower ESR than Panasonic FC, so I wonder why HL is shown as a general purpose capacitor (Albeit a "Long Life 5000 Hours Edition). In any case, I thing Samxon RS will be just fine as a replacement (Since it has a specialized 10mm diameter).

                I will leave it to your judgement if HL is low ESR like HK or not.

                  by Prolog
                  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...

                  If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
                  by chth96
                  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...

                  Need help to identify capacitor brand
                  by oldirdey
                  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?...

                  How can I test non-polarized capacitor?
                  by chth96
                  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,...

                  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.
                  Rubycon YK DataSheet (b...
