Re: 4700uF 6.3v and 3300uF 16v in a 10mm Diameter
SMG is a fine choice, but remember that estimated lifetime doubles each 10 degrees Celcius less. KMG then should technically have double the lifetime than SMG at 4000 hours at 85C, if other factors...

Re: 4700uF 6.3v and 3300uF 16v in a 10mm Diameter
They used KMG for a reason, those aren't areas that require high ripple current, thus 105° GP caps deem appropriate for decoupling. I have also seen good 10mm 16/3300 and 6.3/4700 Fuhjyyu TN that...

Re: Blown cap
Indeed, I've also seen failed Taicon primaries. I have actually seen more failed primaries than secondary caps from them. I would say failure rate for primaries is about on par as with Samxon,...

Re: Panasonic FC series - leaking? quality gone?
I would vow Taicon (Nichicon, Taiwan) as a 2nd tier brand, along Samxon and SamYoung (NCC, Korea), excluding the faulty series. They are arguably decent and they seem to be consistent - lifetime...

Re: Replacement Chemicon SMG caps
FR is an aqueous series AFAIK, similar specs to HE. All very good caps. Since this amp used SMG, I would preferably stick with the same class of caps, but using higher temperature variants. KMG, NHG...

Re: Panasonic FC series - leaking? quality gone?
Seen that notice from NCC. LXJ is not as prone to leak from the bung as the noted ones.. but when they leak, they wreck PCB traces just like the others. The only brand from that era that I don't see...

Re: Panasonic FC series - leaking? quality gone?
Am wondering as well. I've also seen a few FCs leak in older GM/Ford ECUs. likewise Nichicon PF/PL/PR, NCC LXF/LXJ leakers that I can remember that I've seen in many 80s/90s old electronics. Does...

Re: DC Power Supply QW-MS605D
I have an MS605D here. Replace the P75NF75 FET and that should fix the cap popping and cycling issue (use 100V output caps instead of the 63V ones).

Re: QW-MS3010D 30V 10A Variable PSU Blown MOSFET
The PSU design itself is OK, it's the parts that are not adequate for its rating, but after doing my modifications, it can deliver its full 300W and can short it without breaking anything. It was...

Re: QW-MS3010D 30V 10A Variable PSU Blown MOSFET
Yes, it is. Yes, you can put them in series. However unground the outputs.
Another common problem with these power supplies is the P75NF75 linear regulator FET fails D-S. (makes the supply lose...

Re: QW-MS3010D 30V 10A Variable PSU Blown MOSFET
I have an QW-MS605D (same basic circuit as the 3010D except for a few components) the IRF840s in mine failed while running a 200W load. While it failed, it took out Q4, Q5, Q6 and Q7 - as well as the...

Re: Adapters Voltages?
Once I had a 12V 500mA wall wart and unloaded it was reading around 28V (but with a 24 ohm resistor - 500 mA load), it was ±10% of the labeled 12 volt rating.

Windows 8.x is actually faster & smoother than Windows 7 and even more stable. The only "minor" problem I got with it is the Metro interface. It looks nice but it is cumbersome. M$ is doing a good...

Re: 470 'uf' 35V CapXon, Selecting the right cap.
Yes! I have seen alot of these small caps fail open (no capacitance and infinite ESR). They may look fine from the outside but they often fail open IMO. Most of these caps are from shoddy brands like...
