Caps needed

[HexaPro]

Hi everyone, can someone suggest to the admin to make a thread about what brand, type, value, and size that should be available for sale by BadCaps?

I personally need a 10V 470uF 6.3mm Diameter cap but there's no such cap available here. The only site i know that has this type of cap is DigiKey, but the problem is the shipping cost is too expensive. The lowest shipping cost to my country is $32 I could use that to buy 20+ poly caps.

Or does anyone know where to buy good caps with complete brand, type, value and size that also ship worldwide and has a reasonable shipping price?

He has a good reputation, I have bought from him before. His caps are not fakes!

Re: Caps needed

Thanks bigbeark, but they don't have 10V 470uF 6.3mm Diameter cap too.

Re: Caps needed

If this is for a motherboard then a 6.3v cap can be used [as long as ESR is as low as old cap].

Mobos only have 12v, 5v, and 3.3v.
You know a 10v cap is not on +12v power.
That means it's on 5v or less,, so a 6.3v cap will work fine.

That trick does not work if it is not a motherboard.
If it's not a motherboard you would have to measure the actual voltage to know if a lower volt cap would be okay.

Great info PCBONEZ, thanks. But what about the uF should i use the same or is it better to have a higher uF? The only 6.3mm diameter 10V cap i found available has only 330uF capitance, is it ok to use that? I also found this 6.3V cap, which one should i buy?

As i mention in my thread it's for Intel mainboard it has alot 10V 470uF 6.3mm Diameter scattered all over the board.

It's Nichicon VR 10V 470uF 6.3mm Diameter. I don't know the spec BONEZ .

I'm sorry Topcat, but the diameter doesn't fit in, i need a 6.3mm
This is frustrating.....

Ahh, my apologies, I just looked at the value and voltage, diameter got by me.... Good luck on your search. Digikey will have something compatible I'm sure, or maybe mouser.

Re: Caps needed

Nichicon VR 10v 470uF is a size 6.3x11 GP with rated ripple 350.

NCC KZH 6.3v 470uF is a size 6.3x11 Low Impedance/Long Life with rated ripple 500.

So, the KZHs you found, should work fine.

Re: Caps needed

I agree, those KZH look like the way to go.

470uF in 6.3mm is a bit hard to find. Most are 8mm.

Re: Caps needed

Did find two others if you want to check availability:
Chemicon LXZ, 6.3v, 470uF, 6.3x15mm, 400 mA
Nichicon HV, 6.3v, 470uF, 6.3x11mm, 550 mA

I think I've seen a few models of boards with them in all these years....The most common ones were ECS P3 boards with these in g-luxon, that were in some kind of arcade games that a client sent me many dozens of for repair. Of course they were all toast. A 470@10 ZL 8mm worked fine. They were spaced out well, so fitment was not a problem. If they were crammed like the OP says, no, an 8mm would not be a good choice. Looks like I may need to look into having a small stash of these.

Re: Caps needed

I ran across them in an Akai LCD TV. - I used LXZ. Bought extra.
I didn't even remember that until after I posted and checked my stock to see if I needed to get some.

Yup, i would stock them too. Next time i'll try to get a board with only 10mm and 8mm caps onboard
