Aopen FSP300-60BT replacement cap question

[hord]

Hi Guys & Girls,

I am currently in the middle of recapping two Aopen PSU's as they have started to misbehave (and are filled with bulging or leaking crap caps!).
The question I have about one capacitor value only... a 2200uf 16V

It was burried right down in the output cables (8mm dia.) and the only replacement I have is 16mm dia and doesn't stand a chance of fitting (crap suntan as well!) -> So my question is would any of these other values that I have on hand do the job?

1800uf 16v MCZ
3300uf 6.3v MBZ
2200uf 6.3v Sanyo WG
4700uf 10v GD Samxon

I figure the 1800uf is the safest bet as it has the right voltage rating... but is the reduction in uf too great?

Thanks for the help!

Cheers Harvey

Re: Aopen FSP300-60BT replacement cap question

16v caps are used on the 12v lines. 10v and 6.3v caps will not survive there. The uf reduction should be fine unless you are running your power supply at maximum output.

Thanks for the reply Severach, that is what I thought, but its always good to get a second opinion! The power supply won't be overly taxed so it should survive... at least for a while!

You should be able to get some Samxon 10mm 2200uf 16v from Big Pope if your worried about them. The problem is all 10mm 2200 16v caps seem to be only 2000h caps. The 1800 Rubycon should not be that big of a problem.

Re: Aopen FSP300-60BT replacement cap question

Thanks for that... I have just ordered some samxon 2200uf 16v from bigpope! I also found a 3300uf 16v cap on the second PSU (another size I didn't have) ... so I ordered some samxon ones of those as well!

I was hoping I could get the PSU's up and running this week... but it looks like I am going to have to be patient and annoy the postie everyday instead!

Thanks for the help guys!

Cheers Harvey

Well, last time I ordered from Big Pope he sent the caps on a Friday and I had them the next Tuesday, right home at my mailbox!

List of original caps on my FSP300 60BT

Jamicon TM 4700uF 10v 13mmx31.5mm [3]
Teapo SEK 3300uF 10v 13mmx30mm [1]
Jamicon TK 1000uF 16v 10mmx16mm [1]
Jamicon TK 1650uF 16v 10mmx16mm [1]



Your FSP300-60BT's have 2200uf 16v cap and 3300uF 16v cap in them, that surprises me

Good luck on the recapping

Re: Aopen FSP300-60BT replacement cap question

Hi Yanz,

The caps I pulled out of the PSU are as follows:

Jamicon TM 4700uF 10v 13mmx31.5mm [1]
Fuhjyyu TMR 4700uF 10v 13mmx35mm [2]
Fuhjyyu TNR 3300uF 10v 10mmx25mm [1]
Fuhjyyu TNR 2200uF 16v 10mmx30mm [1]
Teapo 1000uF 16v 10mmx19mm [1]
Teapo 470uF 16v 7mmx14mm [1]

They were replaced with Samxon GD & Rubycon (MBZ, MCZ) with matching values (only a 1800uf 16v replaced the 1000uf 16v)... and it has been folding in a machine (for Badcaps team of course ) for nearly a week now with very stable voltages according to the system log.

Of the above caps the Jamicon was bulging and the 2200uf had burst... the rest shown no signs. I am keeping them all until I get a ESR meter to test them all with -> just to see how bad they are!

Cheers Harvey

This could be a great psu, but fuhjyyu and jamicon capacitors ruin it all.

Nice folding btw
Cheers
