Re: Suggested Caps for Xbox360
Yes I've seen them on Asus video cards, Intel motherboards... The Sanyos I got off old VRM modules from Asus A7V motherboards that were never used. I've also seen them in HP DL380 servers (You know the turquoise/bluish caps with the no vent tops).Comment

Re: Suggested Caps for Xbox360
Yeah I know what OSCON is.
My point is the Fujitsu are not "on the lower quality end" of the polymer caps.
The Fujitsu 'Bumble Bees' are ESR .005-.007.
Most of the SPEC come in at ESR .007-.011.
Some series of OSCON are on the low end.
You can beat SEP series OSCON's ESR with a Lytic.
OSCON is famous because they were the first mass produced Solid Polymer and the Patent rights let them be the soul producer for years.
Being first doesn't make them better parts, it just makes them better known.
That said, the first generation of Bumble Bees did have minor [occasional] sealing issues that made them bloat slightly from moisture leakage -IN-.
But:
That only affects those made before about 2002.
Even when they did bloat they usually didn't actually fail.
The problem has been fixed for ages [in computer years]..

Re: Suggested Caps for Xbox360
Interesting. I always thought the bumblebee caps to be inferior. I think I read here that Fujitsu no longer produces them. Is this the case?Comment

Re: Suggested Caps for Xbox360
Fujitsu sold off their polymer business to Nichicon.

Re: Suggested Caps for Xbox360
The DVD was most certainly not reflashed, because I reflashed it myself, and it was original ROM. I had to reflow my Nforce motherboard just to do this because you can't do the Toshiba drives with an Intel SATA chipset.Comment

The Bumblebee's I purchased from KC read >10mΩ [.00] on Blue ESR meter.
I didn't know any of their series were as low end as SEPC.
At first there was just one Series of 'Bumble Bee' called RE.
Never found a data sheet for these because it was a dead series before I got into the caps thing. If memory serves [and it might not, been a while] those I've measured that weren't bloated came in at <.01 ohms. [Bob Parker meter bouncing between .00 and .01.]
In ~2002? they went lead free, dumped the original series, fixed the seal problems and came out with RE-01, RE-S1, and SE-01.
[SE-01 was advertised for PSU use. I've never seen one.]
In Feb 2004 RE-01 & RE-S1 were discontinued and then SE-01 in Aug.
Those were replaced with RE-0L/SL, RE-L1/V1, RE-0U/SU.
All of those were [supposedly] discontinued in Feb 2006 and replaced with:
RE-L8, RE-LS, RE-NS, RE-NU, RE-R5, RE-R7, RE-S8.
These were all with the 'normal' polymer can w/no vent and red ink.
I said supposedly because apparently they kept making some in the bumble bee cans after that notice. [According to kc8 anyway. I haven't seen any that new.] If they were made then I'm not sure if the bumble bees after Feb 06 are the older series or the new series in the older style cans.
THEN they sold the whole mess to Nichicon who kept at least some of the Series names the same.
Not counting the pre-2002 caps [the first series] of the 'Bumble Bees' -I think- the last digit of what looks like the date code is a code for the series but I don't have a key for the codes - and that's just a guess.
[The year is the first digit. - That's consistent with dates on the other brands of caps on the same boards.]

Re: Suggested Caps for Xbox360
The dates I gave were the dates of the discontinuation notices.
That's to give manufacturers planning to order a heads up.
Stopping actual production is probably 6 months to a year after that.
I have 3 Intel S5000PSL boards made sometime in '06 that have the bumble bees.
The later built boards of the same model have either the red marked FPCAP's or Chemicon polymers.
I don't have any of the later made boards around any more to look at though. - Not sure when they were made.

Re: Suggested Caps for Xbox360
My bad, can't keep the symbols straight today. Left is less than...
WRONG!:
"The Bumblebee's I purchased from KC read >10mΩ [.00] on Blue ESR meter."
Should be:
"The Bumblebee's I purchased from KC read <10mΩ [.00] on Blue ESR meter." LESS THAN 10mΩ

Re: Suggested Caps for Xbox360
Mmm, just so I don't feel so left out, when you say "Bumble Bees"
You do mean the yellow Fujitsu solid polymer caps with a vent that are yellow?
(Implying they look like a bee if I'm deciphering this correct?)

by momakaNormally, 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...

by Perry BabinI think this has been answered but I couldn't find the thread.
Someone asked me if it would harm a capacitor (10F [not a typo], 24v) if it was operated on nothing more than 12v.
So, I ask... Does it change any of the capacitor's characteristics/parameters/? in any way if it is never operated near rated voltage?
If operated for years at 1/2 rated voltage, does it accept full rated voltage like it would if it had always been operated at the higher voltage?
Or would it require reforming?-

Howdy folks,
I have an Optiplex GX260 that blew a couple of those troublesome Nichicon HM series (ultra low ESR) electrolytic capacitors. Because said caps are obsolete, they are pretty much impossible to find on the market; I did find a listing for some but I believe they are counterfeit. I feel the easiest thing to do would be to replace all the blown caps with polymer ones. I am by no means an expert in electronics, and I've found a fair bit of conflicting information, so any guidance or confirmation would be greatly appreciated. While from a practical standpoint it's not worth...-

by Phil289Hi
Just a quick question - is it ok to use ‘audio' rated caps on a non audio device.
Is there any reasons why they shouldn't be used?
I'm just trying to find some good quality caps on ebay for a small repair and I've noticed there are alot of audo rated caps in the size i need but not so many non audio rated.
If I can't find any Panasonic what would be any other good makes to consider?
Thanks 🙂-

by momakaFigured I’d separate the recapping details of this PSU in a different thread so that the information can be easier to find. To be more specific, this thread is about recapping of the Delta DPS-300AB-24b, shown here. All details about the build quality of that PSU are posted there.
Here is the PSU, just to see what we are dealing with:
And here is a cap diagram:
Let’s break it down what goes where…
