Re: about rubycon yxa

you need a second opinion,
but personally i'v never seen a rubycon with the concentric-rings type rubber bung.

Re: about rubycon yxa

Id say fake - bung should not be roundels - I believe it should have a flat bit between the pins and a single dot

Dude, you can't tell from the name and the pictures if something on eBay is fake or not. They can say one thing and sell you a capacitor that's fake. It can be the a slightly different font on the plastic case, it can be a different rubber seal on the bottom, it can be a different cut pattern at the top. Unless the seller gained a reputation and is trusted by service guys, you can't trust anyone.

Seller's not going to care, they're just going to refund you the money in best case scenario after you waited weeks to get a capacitor.

Order from real stores.

You have farnell.com , rs-online.com , companies that sell genuine components.
You also have this site's store, but the shipping costs to Israel would probably be a bit much.

If you need just a few capacitors, I could mail you some from my personal stock, but you'd have to pay the 2-3$ in shipping costs besides the price of capacitors.

Re: about rubycon yxa

Ebay in most cases is not a reliable source to find trustworthy sellers for high end capacitors.

You risk to get counterfeits or old stocks. Old stocks can be a problem since storing electrolytics over a Long time without having them connected to a DC-source from time to time shortens their lifespan - sometimes even more than operating under high temperatures.

Best advice is the one mariushm gave you: Buy from a trusted distributor like Farnell or Digikey.

Re: about rubycon yxa

hey, why are you jumping from YXA to ZLH ?
they are completely different ESR range.

what do you actually want them for?

NOT FROM EBAY

ZLH are fine for PSUs. I'm not too sure what options for suppliers are available in Israel, though (Other than maybe one of the couple of reliable fleabay sellers like egekecu).
