mlk386x power supply and cap data sheets.

[Bangulo]

So i have this MLK386x Power supply that has busted caps all around. My question is when looking at the datasheet to order replacement caps. how do you know what ones are rated for 105 C

Two of these huge samxon 100uf 450v are blown from the back. these caps are pretty huge. Would this be sufficient?

105C rating is written on the capacitor.
Panasonic FR, FM, FC are the best for "newbies" as they work in basically all applications.
You can buy them from Digikey.

I know they are written on the Cap, But you really can't look on the cap from the website, it just shows a generic picture. my question is how do you identify it from the data sheet?

It will be written in the datasheet, along with terms such as low impedance or low ESR.

Thanks! I just ordered all the ones rated for switching power supply and all worked fine!

...Did you order Panasonic FM/FR/FC?
Or other good ones: Nichicon, Rubycon, Chemicon?
