Re: Network Switch 24 Port PSU Bad Nichicon Cap



Thank you for that information.
What about the tolerance? If I'm correct the "M" is part of the series name not the tolerance?

I never realised there was two similar characters, µ and ч ... My apologies!
Now I know ...

Hiya Ladies and Gentlemen,

I've seen this thread over here from December 2008 where this guy has a identical piece of network equipment to me. (PureLan 24TP Plus 1 Fiber Network Switch)
I have two of them, and they with seem to have bad cap's on the PSU's.

Thing is, I seem to have a different Nichicon capacitor "model" to what he had.

The affected caps are Nichicon 1500чF 6.3v HD (M) and have 105° written on them. Even after many hours of searching the internet and reading the old threads on here, I'm still confused as what...

Hiya,

Well my name is Kingsley. I'm into a lot of vintage audio stuff ... but also computers and networking. I consider myself lucky as I've never had caps go bad on me in any one of my 100's of systems over the years... but my network switch's are another story

Now I'm stuck with what seems fairly rare caps that need replacing. Well... being a new member, I'm starting to like this place a lot and I might end up spending a lot of my time here... Things get addicting you know
