Capacitors for SMPS

[Tioleco]

The series capacitor Nichicon HZ , Rubyxon MCZ and Chemicon KZJ can also be used in switching power supplies?
Some series are specifically recommended for such, instead of used on motherboards.

Re: Capacitors for SMPS

Depends on the power supply, but generally most computer power supplies (especially the older ones) are NOT designed for the ultra-low ESR caps you mentioned above. United Chemicon KZJ and KZG are also prone to failure.

For power supplies, it's better to stick to the specs of the original caps. Generally, though, United Chemicon KY and KZE, Panasonic FK and FM, Nichicon HE, and Rubycon ZL are all good choices for computer SMPSs. For slightly older PSUs, you can also use United Chemicon LXY and LXZ, Panasonic FC, Nichicon PM and PW, as well as Rubycon YXG.

The catalog of the Nichicon recommend for SMPS the series PJ, PS and TS.
