Re: Power supply build quality pictorial DISCUSSION
Hi,
hehe - now that's the point I'm wondering:
[I]"But as seen on the Enermax psu`s, if keept cool may be many badcaps will last, but certainly there are brands which will go bad regardless if cool or not."[/I]
Which are this "bad" brands ... I'm always sceptical ...
As said - I had to buy some caps urgently - those Samwha were what was on hand in the shop - when getting home - I've realized their specs are much better than I expected (but - never heard of the company)...

Re: Unknown Capacitor Brands
Hi,
OK not at the input - but at the output of the regulators - low esr capcaitor is quite essential.
Well - again - I was also wondered by stated life-expectancy of Samwha - 5000h ...
That's why I asked myself - is it possible that this capacitors (they cost 6 times less then Rub ZL) has same specs as ZL?!?...Leave a comment:

Re: Unknown Capacitor Brands
Yes - but still - why e.g. Samwha can be declared for a bad component - if specifications from datasheet are truth - then this capacitor is very good ...
So what can get wrong?
I mean - don't understand me wrong - I'm not trying to convince you/us, it's better to use some no-name brand as respectable highly regarded one - but - in datasheet it stands that specs are VERY good - how highly trusted can this info be??
Btw - my aplications are psu's with linear regulation and almost constant current draw - I...Leave a comment:

Re: Power supply build quality pictorial DISCUSSION
@gonzo - I share your opinion - and yes - it goes for "classic" linear regulators ...
I just wonder about such "no-name" brands - what about reliability - considering that working conditions will be "easy" ... Spmething to really worry about or not?Leave a comment:

Re: Unknown Capacitor Brands
hi,
it was not a repairment - but making a prototype that couldn't wait ...
Btw - the stuff won't be used for computer repairment - and the environment of my specific application is far more "friendly" - normal temp, no high current draws but aprox. a constant load of the PSU, etc ...
We'll see what will happen after some time

Re: Unknown Capacitor Brands
I also ussualy go with Rubycon or Panasonic - but those are here only via special order - certainly asap delivery somewhere in the beggining of next week - and I needed those caps on today/tomorow basis ...
The Q here is: does anyone here have bad experineces with Samwha (eg WB series)

Re: Unknown Capacitor Brands
I intend to use those Samhwa in audio - regulated PSU's for preamps, etc ...
Btw - according to specifications found on the Net - 1000uF/35V WD Samwha has very similar specifications as much more regarded Rubycon ZL - I just wonder - is it possible to believe to those datasheets?Leave a comment:

Re: Unknown Capacitor Brands
So if choosing between normal 85° standard Yageo and 105° Samwha (both 1000uF/35) - it's better to use Yageo?Leave a comment:

Re: ms-6330lite
Marko - if still interested in solution - you can get low esr caps in Slovenia - if interested how and where - you can contact me via private contacts ...Leave a comment:

Re: Power supply build quality pictorial DISCUSSION
Hello,
new guy here ...
got some FCon capacitors in local store (105°C 100uF 16V and 50V) and I'm trying to find some useful informations about them ...
I'm planning to build several regulated power suplies for electronic - and I intend to use them as capacitors near regulators ...
BUT as far as I understand from upper sentence - they are not much worth and it's better for me to get some better/higher regarded capacitors (such us Rubycon ZL, Panasonic FC/FM, etc) or...Leave a comment:
