    Meaning of electrolytic capacitor "CE" markings

    Some electrolytic capacitors, especially older ones have markings of "CE" on them. This is short for "Condensateur Électrolytique", the French acronym for Electrolytic Capacitor.
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

    RTX 3080 FE Identifying capacitor
    by Prolog
    Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.

    I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.

    I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
    (yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)

    I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never...

    Need replacement advice for surface mount electrolytic capacitor
    by beogeek
    Hi all,

    I have a faulty monitor, the surface mount electrolytic capacitor 33uF 100V needs to be replaced, now I can't seem to source them locally, so my question is can I replace it with a through-hole electrolytic capacitor of the same value? Or has someone got a better suggestion?

    Cheerio...

    solid polymer electrolytic capacitor go boom?
    by eccerr0r
    Anyone had a solid polymer capacitor fail for whatever reason?

    How do they fail? Do they explode, go open, short out, ?

    How about for different reasons: forcing excessive ripple current, overheating, voltage too high, reverse voltage?

    Just wondering about the causes for a potential shorted solid polymer capacitor... trying to debug a board that has a ~4Ω "short" on a track... it may or may not be a capacitor but was wondering what if it were...

    If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
    by chth96
    I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
    Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
    It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
    So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
    I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...
