Re: 10mm 3300uf?

Hi there!

Well it looks like a couple of you may be right about the voltage range on these caps. After going over all of the traces on the ps, I can now say that all of the exceedingly rare 3300uF 10v, 10mm caps are on the 3.3v and 5v sections. So, while it doesn't give me much headroom, I can use the more popular10mm 6.3v parts. The 12v rail is handled by a 2200uF, 16v item, and there is a litle more physical space to play with here.

Now, seeing as I am so close to the 6.3v rating with my 5v rail, are there any particular brands or...

Re: Abit BE6-II v1.2 - Bad Caps

Hi everyone,

I wish I'd known about this site 3 years ago.....

I recapped a $5 swapfest special BE6-II (v1.0?) MB over two years ago, and I can say it really was a learning experience. Number one thing learned? NEVER assume that all capacitors of the same value will be the same diameter.

After reading the posts above, I suspect now that all of the OEM (Jackon??) 1000 and 1500uf caps were probably 8mm. I did, however, manage to squeeze in what I'm thinking now are 10mm parts (it's been a while). Only one...

Re: 10mm 3300uf @ 10V?

Well.....

The failed 10v caps (Tocon crap) are actually from a small switch-mode power supply installed in a stand-alone dual-CD-RW audio recorder, not a motherboard or actual PC power supply. This ps generates the typical 3.3v, 5v, and 12v to run the CD drives and the custom A/D conversion board.

Is it typical for the voltages that these caps are exposed to be much higher than the 5v supply? I'm new to switch-mode supplies, so I'm guessing probably, and most likely at a high frequency. This whole unit is crammed onto a 7cm X...

Re: 10mm 3300uf @ 10V?

Ok,

I saw the postings for the 10mm 3300uF caps at 6.3v, but I need the same size and uF value at 10v. Everyone is right, Digikey is no help. TC (or anyone for that matter), do you know of a source for these little beasties? I only need about a half dozen....
