Re: Large vs small electrolytics reliability

Thanks

Good morning.

Is it possible to understand the brand of these two smd electrolytic caps from the type of screen printing?

Thanks...

Goodmorning.

I have a curiosity: can low voltage/capacity electrolytic capacitors (e.g. 16V/47uf) last longer than high voltage / capacity ones (e.g. 63V/2200uf)?

I ask because many threads indicate a life of electrolytics that does not go beyond 15 years (it seems to me that Panasonic has written something in its documents), but I have several musical instruments bought in 1980 that work perfectly: they have inside them many small electrolytics. I tried asking an electrical engineering friend to unsolder some and measure them, and these were incredibly within spec....

Good morning, I'm live in Italy, and I'm a musician.
Curious to know some information on the capacitors of my instrumentation...

Thanks for having me.
