the tool grinder it was in would just die for no apparent reason every 15 minutes.sometimes crashing and busting the grinding wheels and the tool being sharpened.

I'll have to pop open my redundant Emacs. I just assumed they would be good. Talk about expensive crap with crap inside!

I have used a few CapXons in my L&C PSU recap. I guess they don't fail, since I just used 1 2.2uf 50V, 1 4.7uf 50V, and 2 330uf 200V caps from my cap collection. I got 1000uf 6.3V 10MM CapXons in my collection that did not fail yet.

Damn, I am using a Zippy PSL-6700P, should I check it for crap caps?

I guess nobody is immune to bad caps. Though odd that you had some failed CapXons. I have lots of equimpent at work that is loaded with CapXons and I have never seen one fail *knock on wood*

Is CapXon related to Samxon?

You won't find any in that one - this is the first time I've ever heard of Zippy using Fuhjyyu. Perhaps this is an older unit from back before it was known Fuhjyyu was so bad.

CapXon is no relation to Samxon as far as I'm aware. I have no quarrel with CapXon - they seem to hold up ok in SMPS use.

Hey KC8ADU
I sent a PM this morning about the same power supply listed above that quit on me this morning in a CNC grinder and hope you can help me even though this post is 7 years old it popped up on top of google search
