    Identify X cap

    Hello,
    Long time no post.

    I`ve got a bunch of these. Could not identify the manufacturer. The .33uF seems suitable to PSUs, but I could not find more information. Even if they are not a best choice, do you think they can be used without problem to improve some gutless psus a little ?

    Thanks.

    I believe that is a .033uF, 400VDC film capacitor. Maybe Arcotronics? Any markings on the top or other side? I would NOT use this as an X capacitor, even ignoring its low capacitance value!

    Safety capacitors - X type and Y type - tend to be covered with the logos of the various safety agencies that approved the part. This cap had none, on the side in the pic, anyway.

        No other markings, just that side.

          identify capacitor for MacBook Pro with rare logic board 820-02037-06
          by devsigner
          Hi

          While messing around with my MacBook Pro, I stupidly pinged off a very small surface mounted component that I’m now trying to identify.
          resistance tests show a rising resistance value, indicating a capacitor.

          The laptop boots up and runs, however I'm choosing not to use it until I get it fixed.

          i can’t see any markings on the capacitor at 10x magnification using a professional jewler's loop.

          It seems like there's some damage to the capacitor - one side doesn't have "shiny bits" - can you tell I don't do this for a living!...

          DVR HIKVISION DS-7208HWI-E1/A BOARD DS-80104 REV 2.2 help identify burnt components
          by thesame
          Hy guys , i have a DVR board DS-80104 REV 2.2 that was powered wrong, i have some smds on the board that are blown and i can't identify them , maybe if someone has this board somehow and we can identify the smds', i have searched online and i can't find a schematic.
          The smds are SOT-23-6 , one of them i think it has the marking ADJF since i found another one on the board with this marking , but the other one it seems that it starts with AG or it looks like. I would really apreciate if someone could help me identify those IC's .

          Lenovo Legion 7 - Help Identify IC
          by silver60618
          Hi gang, its a long shot, but working on Lenovo Legion Pro 7 motherboard NM-F091, and trying to identify this component near GPU with marking "eHFQH" that is burned and shorting the board. Looks like power management IC

          I couldnt find any schematic or boardview. The CPU side also has same chip. Any way to identify this chip? or take measurements from the good chip to determine what it is?

          Any help would be appreciated...

          Testing ATX PSUs under load - Does loading the ATX 24 pin also load EPS & PCIE?
          by AJ847.63e
          Hi Folks,

          Just wanted to clear up a misunderstanding of mine (or what I expect is one). Isn't the 12V rail from the 24 pin, EPS and PCIE separated? IE if I put a power resistor on the ATX 12V pin that is not going to load, thus tell me if the EPS or PCIE rails are fine?

          I was recently watching ArIs from Hardware Busters video on how to properly test ATX PSUs without using 5 figure Croma substations.

          The PCB adapter he used breaks out the 12, 5 and 3.3V pins from the 24 pin and gives you banana plugs to connect to. That is a bit useless is it not? Aren't...

          How can I identify varistor which have been blew up?
          by chth96
          I mistakely pluged 100v japanese retro game console to 220v outlet.
          So It seems that glass fuse and varistor have been blew up.
          I can identify that voltage and ampere value of glass fuse(250V LF 1.6A),but It is impossible to identify varistor type in my sega saturn PSU(YAMAHA 35M07U XR258)
          Is there any way to identify varistor type in my sega saturn PSU?
          Any reply would be appreciated.


          EDIT:
          It seems that I finally found out what type this black varistor is. It is Panasonic ERZV05D221 “ZNR” Transient/Surge Absorbers (Type D) Varistor Voltage...
