Re: ESR 0.6Ω capacitance -15% absolute must change?

After comparing with a good PSU. I see that the bad one is not starting (when connecting PSON and PSKILL to ground). The good one starts the fan, LED turns green and all output voltages are there,...

Re: ESR 0.6Ω capacitance -15% absolute must change?

Useful questions, thank you. I will dig more for the answers.

Looking for the IC that does PWM I found several op Amps and a PIC.

Is it possible that this PIC is actually performing the PWM:...

Re: ESR 0.6Ω capacitance -15% absolute must change?

I have 383VDC on the capacitors.

And 242VAC on the bridge rectifier input (mains voltage).

ESR 0.6Ω capacitance -15% absolute must change?

I have one (of 3) hot swap Supermicro/Ablecom PWS-0050 SP382-TS server PSU that is mal functioning. Supermicro IPMI reports it as bad and led is orange on.

I took it apart tested transistors,...

Re: FCL30A015 diode reverse biased shows 35 Ohm, 0.05V forward. Is it gone?

So with a 21W load (car light bulb) on 12V the diode only passes the right way. With zero Amps leaked when reverse biased.

I think the multimeter is misleaded because it leaks some current on low...

Re: FCL30A015 diode reverse biased shows 35 Ohm, 0.05V forward. Is it gone?

I did test them with a 1k resistor and 32V from a lab power supply.

According to the PSU they take about 0.03 A when forward biased and 0.0 A when reverse biased.

So according to this test,...

Re: FCL30A015 diode reverse biased shows 35 Ohm, 0.05V forward. Is it gone?

It's a PSU from a Supermicro server that has 3 hot swap power supplies (n+1). It might be a FSP PSU, IIRC, I'm away now and can't check. So nothing Russian in there. :)

Server is over 10 years old.

Re: FCL30A015 diode reverse biased shows 35 Ohm, 0.05V forward. Is it gone?

I am not so sure any more. I have 4 of these diodes in the PSU and all read about the same.

If I create a circuit with my lab PSU at 32V and a 1k ohm 50W resistor (the smaller resistors that I...

FCL30A015 diode reverse biased shows 35 Ohm, 0.05V forward. Is it gone?

Hello,

I am troubleshooting a power supply.

When measuring a FCL30A015 diode it shows 35 Ohm when reverse biased and 0.05 forward voltage.

See attached.

The datasheet does say "Extremely...

Re: chaper alternative to CL1850 CLIFF (mains quick connection)

I tried AliExpress with no success.
I've tried names used by CLIFF.

What search term should I use?

Re: Inductor or resistor

Thanks. I didn’t know coils have the inductance value color-coded.

Based on lines it’s 1mH.

Can I replace it in this power supply with a coil of 1500uH, 100mA, 25Ω?

Re: Inductor or resistor

And how many ohms does it have?
I can’t decide if first and last colors are red/brown (maybe orange?).

Re: Inductor or resistor

So they are both based on “How to diagnose and fix everything electronics” (attached). But what’s their main purpose: coil or resistor?

Inductor or resistor

See attachment.

This blown component is connected to the output of a bridge rectifier on a SMPS.

It looks like a resistor (it has colored marking lines), but it is marked as L1 on the PCB,...

Re: Desoldering station/gun above ZD-915/474A++ ?

@sam_sam_sam thanks for the extensive review!

I am leaning towards ZD-915, in spite of it being a budget tool, sounds almost fun to maintain and repair it. "Fun" because it will not be heavily...

Re: Desoldering station/gun above ZD-915/474A++ ?

I read that 474A++ gets clogged easily and the tips oxidize quickly. How’s your experience been?

If I had to choose one of those, I’d choose ZD-915. But it has the hard-to-remove-tank problem and...

Re: Recommendations of quality soldering station and (separate) hot air station

Why a knock off when you can get an original JBC (https://eleshop.eu/jbc-bt-2bwa-soldeerstation-140watt.html) at about the same price?
