    how to order caps from digikey?

    I tried looking up a 2200mf 16v low esr 105c electrolytic cap on digikey's site for a Samsung TV power supply. too many categories' to select info for the cap. any help with searching for such a cap on their site?

    thanks to anyone who can help.

    You select 16v and click apply filters.
    Select 2200uF and click apply filters,
    select mounting type: through hole and click apply filters
    check in stock and click apply filters

    Now you have a small list from which you need to pick capacitors with low esr.

    Normally, you'd look at datasheets at each capacitor in that list.
    However, a nice "trick" you can remember is that usually capacitors with low esr have a high ripple current (which is a good thing) so you can go in that table and click on the arrows by the "ripple current" column and sort from high ripple to lower.

    Now pick from that list whatever you want, but make sure it can fit on your board (look at diameter and height).

    These series are good, low esr capacitors

    Panasonic FM or FR or
    Nichicon HM or HN or HW
    United Chemi Con KZE , KY , LXY, LXZ
    Rubycon ZLJ and others etc

        Here are the spec sheets of the PANASONIC FM/FR/FC series.
        When you find the value, the dimension, and rating you need, all you have to is to type in the PANASONIC P/N in the search box in the Digikey, I.E.: for 1000uF 16V, type in EEUFMC102 then the result will pop up.
        Mouser sometime will have lower price but the shipping charge seems to be higher.

          Thanks budm and mariushm. just ordered two panasonic fm series caps. very easy to do once you know the procedure. ordered a couple of weller solder tips for my ancient W-TCP-L solder station also. it must be more than 35 years old by now. Thanks for the suggestions.

            Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
            by momaka
            I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

            For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

            It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

            Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
            by eryjus
            Hello,

            First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

            I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

            I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."

            Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
            by Paxman_Swede
            Hello!

            I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

            The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

            I have studied the board and...

            EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GS AGP 256MD2 [256-A8-N542-T2] with bad caps - fixed
            by momaka
            I did it again – I had to fulfill my inner desire to fix yet another old piece of hardware. This one is actually kind of worthwhile, too – it’s an EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GS AGP video card, model P/N: 256-A8-N542-T2. With the popularity of “retro” PCs from the Win9x to XP era going up, and the diminishing supply of decent AGP cards, it is expected their prices will go up. Or is it? I bought the this video card rather on the cheap side (~$9 USD shipped to my door), because the eBay seller listed it for parts or repair (and correctly noted the bad capacitors.)

            So, here is the...

            Replacement caps for Samson Resolv studio monitor 65A Amp board.
            by black6host
            Good day!

            I have a Samson Resolv studio monitor that has no sound output. I've opened it up and found two caps that are bulging on what I believe to be the power supply section of the amplifier board. The board is marked Resolv 65A AMP V1.2. The caps in question are YUSCON, 2200uF, 35V, 85C temp and have markings of RA(P) and are 16mm x 25.5mm tall. I've attached the schematic and the caps in question are C5 and C6. I'm assuming they are low esr caps. I've tested both caps and they test low uF, nowhere near 2200uF.

            I'm going to replace the caps and I'll be the first...
