Re: PEAK Powerline Adapters type 159814NRPK

Hi SeanC,
Thanks again for your comment and advice.
I don't think that my C10 was measurable considering the state it was in (and worse, it fell apart on removal).
I shall go for the voltages as they read on the caps; especially considering size is all important to fit in the limited space.
I hope to be mentioning here my success with this project soonest (and I shall be honest if I fail).

Hi SeanC,
Got called away on business so haven't had a chance 'till now to review caps.
I have removed the caps on my unit and they are:

C3: 220uf 25v
C4: 47uf 25v
C10: 1000uf 10v
C11: 220uf 10v
Slightly different to yours.
All are SC 105 deg TEAPO

Any further comment (from anyone) before I proceed would be gratefully received.
Thanks
Graham

Hi SeanC,
Thank you so much for your swift response.
I'll get on to RS Comps tomorrow and order the caps.

Hello,
Firstly, I am new to this forum, I'm an IT & networks expert but I know nothing much about electronics though I can pull a board with brilliance (LOL) and I can wield a soldering iron.

I have several of these PEAK Powerline adapters [100-240V 50-60Hz] (been working for over 2 years) that have all failed within a few weeks of each other and I am convinced that this is as a result of capacitors gone bad. (there are 2 obviously well domed marked C3 & C10).

I haven't removed these domed (& doomed) caps yet to see their value but I'm wondering...
