    Rubycon copycats - 'Rukycon'

    Seen them before too, they are Rubycon imitators, like the infamous 'Rulycon'

    In Swedish "Runka" means to jerk off
    And "Ruky" sounds very similar when saying it.
    So I'll call these caps a complete jerkoff
    "The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it."

      I had one of them bought for fun (counterfeit "YXA" series, used for testing only). The printing on these are low quality, blurry on the edges (while real ones have sharp defined edges). The "k" part looks a bit like "b". Of course, those familiar with real Rubycons will straight away notice the differences...

        speaking of copycats...
        I came across these Rubycon on ebay. 25pcs for 5.5$?
        What do you think? Are they real?

              Still, puzzled, where do bad batches (of production) go ???

              Not to mention, safe (ecological) disposal (or destroying) costs money, versus some money could be earned through sell...

                Let us know how it goes. Would actually be interesting to put them in some type of equipment where they get some real-life stress-tested. I bet they wouldn't last.

                Rukycon?
                How clever. What do you all think we will see next? Rudycon? I know there is Rudoycon out there already too

                Ha! Really?
                .
                .
                .
                Really?

                Ok, enough playing.
                No, I'm pretty sure they aren't. Why?...
                1) Can't see the bung or vent
                2) Seller is based in China
                3) Just look at the seller's name or other items he's selling

                  Rukycon?
                  May try it in a cheap multimedia speaker system (where usually the main capacitor is also made in China one), when I have the time (kinda busy nowadays, too many repair jobs came in)...

                    Maybe do a "Great Capacitor Shootout 2". Rulycon vs. Rukycon vs. Fuhjyyu or something.

                              Why do people still use NOS 20+ year old turquoise Rubycon capacitors?

                                That was an unused Rubycon CE-W and was pretty old (leftover from many years back, didn't get the opportunity to use that last one and was put in cold storage). Nowadays for those sizes and capacitance, mostly using Nichicons and Panasonics...
