Re: Replacement for Rubycon 680uf 4v low profile?

Per Hansson,

Thanks for the information regarding voltage. That makes sense and may help in getting this going. Especially with the lower profile caps around the CPU socket.

I'm hoping for some information regarding the solid caps since they appear the same size, capacitance, and voltage as the Rubycons.

The board you have in the links is the same board I'm using. However, the capacitors are different than in the picture. Colors are different. Sizes are about the same. The large 3300uf...

<gg1978 said>"[I]Polymers should work in VRM out on the board OK. General consensus on this forum is that you can usually put about 1/2 the capacitance in polymers, compared to regular electrolytics.. You'll probably want Sanyo Oscon SEPC's, or United Chemicon PSA's for that type of application.. 2.5V or 4 V polymers should be fine there. So for the 470's, i'd drop in some 220 or 330uF poly's instead.. Though you could probably put "full value" polymers in also.[/I]."

I'm a bit slow on the...

Re: Replacement for Rubycon 680uf 4v low profile?

Yes there was likely a heat issue with this board in that it was crammed under a desk with little ventilation. We have already replaced it for my client. I would like to try to replace it since it's a microATX form factor and look at playing around with it to perhaps make a MythTV box with it. That and the challenge of "can I do it?"

That said, I have not been able to find any specs on Rubycon's site regarding that particular series. Nor have I been able to find a replacement of around that height to use...

Hello all,

New to the forums and thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

I have been searching for a source / alternative capacitor model for replacing 3 Rubycon 680uf 4v MFZ series low profile capacitors. Does anyone have any suggestions?

On the Rubycon capacitor:
680uf
4v
MFZ

and

A0525
105 deg C
PET

These are from an Intel D101GGC board. They were located directly below the edge of the CPU heat sink which is why I need the same or similar low profile capacitors....
