Re: The Great Capacitor Showdown - Rubycon vs Panasonic vs Samxon

I've got a lot of electronics experience but not much experience on these forums, so if I've missed something sorry

a) why use FC when FM is better in almost every respect?

b) this is a real-world test, which is always a great (but PAINFULLY long) way of testing things. If you really want to test a capacitor's specs, stick it in some sort of temperature regulated, 105*C oven, apply maximum ripple current (which is AC current, pretty much), and wait. If what the manufacturers say is correct,...
