    really? I would figure there would be a greater difference between lytics and polys

      Not sure what you are commenting on.
      Greater difference in what respect?

            Actually there's another good brand w/Low ESR caps but I've never seen them for sale.

            Illinois Capacitor...

            Their JZM series has ESR/Ripple in between MBZ and MCZ.
            Their KXM series has ESR/Ripple comparible to ZL, WX, KZE
            They have two series with specs down around the LXY, LZY range too,,,
            ,,, those are KBM and RZM.

            It's possible they are ugly like FR too! Woo Hoo!

            Their data sheets are a PITA to read because they don't sort the list by voltage..

              I actually emailed NIC Components' Montreal Office to try and source their low ESR stuff, I didn't get an aswer (Typical lazy Frenchmen). I should try to get in touch with Illinois, to see if I can get my hands on their old stock of these series, if they have any that is. (I have a feeling that they probably only did very short production runs of these series).

                Those are current series, I just never see anyone stocking them.

                With all of Japan's problems IC might end up with a bigger chunk of the market and these caps just might start showing up in places.

                  The factory sales reps [I think] get paid in part on commission so if you aren't placing a large order [or just get lucky and ping one having a slow day] they will just point you to some other company that buys from them in bulk.
                  .
                  I hadn't thought about buying old stock direct though.
                  If they don't have some arrangement with a liquidator that might work.

                      The series I mentioned are low ESR.

                      IC makes good caps, just not many of the low ESR types.
                      IC caps often show up in better brands of test equipment. [BK, Fluke]

                        Yeah I know, I just meant that I bought the general purpose ones, I wasn't looking for Low ESR at the time.

                        But if Fluke uses them, then I am happy I bought them

                            Old thread but just wanted to comment on something. First, the IC capacitors are an old brand, they were used a lot in the 70s, AFAIK they got re-issued or they gave them a major bump back into commercial business. They are good and cheap capacitors, im into audio and these caps were used a lot in audio.

                            Most of you guys are thinking that electrolytics will be extinct because you are only looking at them from the computer motherboard perspective, there are a lot of different industries which require electrloytics, for instance, pro audio.

                            Pro-audio, specially pro-audio enthusiasts like vintage gear, etc.. Audio is NOT the same without electrolytics, sure, polypropilene caps, or polyester film caps may sound better in some cases, (havent really tried polymer in audio) but in audio is not uncommon to see stuff like 1000uf or 2200uf at 63V low impedance cap, aand i have yet to see a polymer that big.

                            So in short, dont worry, Low-esr capacitors will still be around...

                              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

                              Here are some examples :

                              Hello! yes I know there is already lots of information about this issue. I have a Panasonic TC-P55ST50 that originally displayed an 8-blink error code. Following the troubleshooting flowchart, I ended up replacing the SS board. However, even after replacing it, the issue persists. The TV turns on and stays on without displaying an image, and continuity is confirmed on all connectors. What am I missing here🤔?
                              Ok Im a mechanical engineer ...but I thought I was able to follow a rather simple flowchart for electric troubleshooting 😂.

                              hey all, iv got my favourite battery charger here which iv had for many years probably 15 years now or maybe even more. it still works good but thought id open it up to clean the dust out of it, lots of dust inside but now its clean and noticed 4 capacitors inside it and wondered if i should replace them.
                              it has inside:

                              not heard of these brands are they any good?
