    Replacing CapXon's, wondering what lower version of UCC is equivalent

    I'm recapping an FSP power supply which had 7 CapXon caps (6 were bulging) since this is a really small PSU, the UCC KY caps I have are too big to fit. For the 1000uf 16V CapXon caps, I have 680uf 16V UCC KY caps that are the EXACT same dimensions as the 1000uf 16V CapXon's. Since CapXon are terrible, do you think the 680uf 16V caps would be as good if not better at filtering?

    Get the series code from the capacitors, read the specs from the Capxon datasheet and compare with UCC datasheets...

    What else there is to say? Without a series code, it's too little information.

      Alright, sorry. They're KF series. The ripple is much lower on the KY

        Capxon KF 1000uF 16v : 10x20 , 1350 mA , 0.065 ohm

        The closest would be LXZ series: 1000uF , 1220 mA , 0.052 ohm ( page 136)

        I think you'll be fine with KY though... it's not too low esr.

            After being recapped, it's getting much better readings on the voltages. the 12 dropped from 12.3 to 12, the 3.3 went from 3.4 to 3.3, and the 5 went from 5.3 to 5.1
