    Re: NKL Caps

    Welcome, Rob!
    I have never seen this brand before.
    What is the manufacturer of this board with this brand of capacitor?
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

      Re: NKL Caps

      Thank you very much!

      The mfg. wont help very much, its Falck Securitas. A company making security systems in DK.

      Its a 4 Amp powersupply, 3 A for load and 1 for recharging 2x 42Ah accku's.
      They used this NKL brand, Panasonic and Vishay. I know the last two brands, very good.
      I haven't seen any PB's with several PSU's with this NKL brand. I'am just quite puzzeled with the name. I've bought some new Vishay BC Components ones to replace with.
      If anyone knows this brand, I'd be happy to hear about it.

      Edit:

      Reason for replacing, is i don't know the brand, but other caps on the board are Samsung and Cornell Dubilier CEBM series, and i've seen some of these fail, also using the cheap rubber "bong"

        NKL is based out of Germany.

          Have an actual company name or a link because all I can find [which isn't much] points to China.

            Sounds like its a unknown brand to other than me.

            Brethin; If you have any company info or links, as pcbonez stated, that would be nice

              There are only 6 good brands vs about 100 bad ones, so when I see a brand I've never heard of, I always assume it's bad.
              I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

                Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
                by eryjus
                Hello,

                First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
                ...

                Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
                by Paxman_Swede
                Hello!

                I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                I have studied the board and...

                Help with switching power supply caps
                by captain150
                I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
                I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...

                Gigabyte GA-6OXT :: caps question
                by Foetuss
                Good evening

                I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
                Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

                But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
                Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...

                Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
                by momaka
                I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

                For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

                It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:
