    Rubycon YXF or ZLJ Capacitors for Power supplies?

    Time for me to restock on capacitors. I had a stock of Rubycon YXF capacitors that I've been using to revive LCD tvs, but I've run out. Anyone have any opinions as to whether the ZLJ versions would be better or worse for this application?

    ZLJ can work in some applications but in general are best for motherboards.

      ZLJ and ZLH are great in power supplies, I haven't had any issues using them. Their ESR is quite a bit lower (but not ultra low) compared to YXF, but that's a good thing for PSU's.

        I think YXF is non-aqueous electrolyte and ZLJ is aqueous electrolyte... The consensus here is that non-aqueous caps should last longer in PSUs eventhough they have lower endurance ratings than aqueous caps... I would still personally prefer ZLx though.

              Based on the assumption that YXx series are comparable to Panasonic FC/Nichicon PW and that ZLx series are comparable to Chemi-Con KY (Which has an aqueous electrolyte).

              If you have any concrete information that states otherwise, please post it.

                Close. ZL_ is more like NCC KZE, KZH or KZN. Ruby's equivalent to KY is YXG.

                  What is Rubycon's equivalent of PW/LXZ/FC?

                    YXH is probably the closest (at least when comparing the common 2200uF 6.3V in 10x25mm), but they don't have an exact match.

                    YXJ caps are physically smaller for the same capacitance and voltage compared to YXH, and thus have a higher ESR and lower ripple.

                      Yea, but is YXH aqueous electrolyte, or is it equivalent to LXZ/FC/PW in that aspect?

                        No Idea. I would guess that it's non-aqueous, but that's only based on the fact that its electrical specs are similar to FC.

                          Makes sense.

                          I thought YXH was a newer series, but it appears that you're right... Haven't seen it that often though, but YXG was plenty popular, even as far back as 2000, possibly earlier.

                            kind of obsolete info given the price drop on cheap wurth-electronik poly's recently.
                            you can even get 2000uf or 63v ones now.
                            not in that combination yet though.

                              by Tynan Dill
                              I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                              Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                              I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                              The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                              With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                              by GLISIT
                              Hi all,

                              TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


                              I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

                              A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

                              Panasonic switching power supply daughter board has two 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors which I do not keep in stock
                              by sam_sam_sam
                              I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow

                              This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board
