    Help to choose caps with different ripple current

    I have a LG RC689D power supply to replace caps but I'm not sure about ripple current values, one cap is 16V 2200uf 105c and I found the two below caps that I'm thinking of getting but do I choose one with a low or high ripple current?

    Only one is in stock. Look at the data sheets for the caps you're replacing, they will tell you the ESR and ripple required.

    One of the caps you list above isn't in stock.

      ripple current should be equal or higher - never lower than what your replacing.

        I have looked at the data sheets for two brands "Sam Young" and "Samwha" and I found most of them, the ones below are the ones I found with the ripple current value:

        Sam Young:
        https://www.samyoung.co.kr/product/p..._miniature.asp

        KMG, 25V, 100uF, -55c ~ +105c, +-20%, 6.3mm (diameter) x 11mm (high)
        159 rated ripple current (mArms/105c, 120Hz)

        KMG, 16V, 100uF, -55c ~ +105c, +-20%, 5mm (diameter) x 11mm (high)
        119 rated ripple current (mArms/105c, 120Hz)

        KMG, 10V, 220uF, -55c ~ +105c, +-20%, 5mm (diameter) x 11mm (high)
        170 rated ripple current (mArms/105c, 120Hz)

        NXB, 16V, 2200uF, -40c ~ +105c, +-20%, 12.5mm (diameter) x 20mm (high)
        2,360 rated ripple current (mArms/105c, 120Hz)

        Samwha:
        http://www.samwha.com/electric/produ....aspx?f_num=39

        SD, 450V, 68uF, -40c ~ +85c, 16mm (diameter) x 35.5mm (high) but cap is 18mm x 32mm
        503 ripple current (mA rms) at 85c, 120Hz

        RD, 25V, 1000uF, -55c ~ +105c, 10mm (diameter) x 20mm (high)
        820 ripple current (mA rms) at 105c, 120Hz

        SD, 10V, 1000uF, -40c ~ +85c, 10mm (diameter) x 12.5mm (high)
        659 ripple current (mA rms) at 85c, 120Hz

        so would I replace the above caps with the same or higher ripple current eg: 820 RC is 820mA (milli amps) RC?
        But what is 2,360 RC? 2.360 amps?

        The below caps are the ones I need help to find the ripple current:

        Sam Young:

        KMF, 16V, 2200uF, 105c, 13mm (diameter) x 20mm (high)

        KME, 16V, 2200uF, 105c, 12.5mm (diameter) x 25mm (high)

        KME, 25V, 470uF, 105c, 10mm (diameter) x 17mm (high)

        SMS, 35V, 33uF, 85c, 5mm (diameter) x 12mm (high)

        Samwha:

        RG, 10v, 1000uF, 105c, 10mm (diameter) x 17mm (high)

        RG, 50V, 47uF, 105c, 6mm (diameter) x 11mm (high)

        Someone said to replace all the 10-16 volt caps with 25 volt caps if I do this do I keep the same ripple current or go with something higher but how higher is to high?

          The NCC KMG series looks to be a high quality 105C general purpose part (and no longer in VCC's catalog?). The Rubycon ZLH series is a very low impedance, long life part. Very different parts for very different applications.

          Rather than throwing parts at what you're trying to repair, I suggest understanding how the part you want to replace was used. Maybe start with the manufacturer and series and cross-match that with a similar or slightly better part.

            Is it no harm to replace with capacitor without ripple current rating?
            by chth96
            When I tried to repair LG 29 inch CRT TV, I found that the ESR value of samyoung SMS capacitor(160v 2.2uf), which is very close to D1879 transistor, is 6 ohm.


            Judging from above ESR Meter Table,I think It is necessary to replace this sms capacitor.So I visited local electronics shop,and I purchased 160v 2.2uf rubycon YK capacitor.
            But when I browse through rubycon YK datasheet,I found that there is no ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf specification. But On the contrary, I found 39 mA ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf SMS capacitor.

            Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
            by momaka
            I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

            For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

            It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

            Dell Optiplex GX260 - Advice Needed for Polymodding Motherboard
            by SwedishDiesel
            Howdy folks,

            I have an Optiplex GX260 that blew a couple of those troublesome Nichicon HM series (ultra low ESR) electrolytic capacitors. Because said caps are obsolete, they are pretty much impossible to find on the market; I did find a listing for some but I believe they are counterfeit. I feel the easiest thing to do would be to replace all the blown caps with polymer ones. I am by no means an expert in electronics, and I've found a fair bit of conflicting information, so any guidance or confirmation would be greatly appreciated. While from a practical standpoint it's not worth...

            Cyberpower 1500AVR UPS repair
            by quickname
            I'd like to start out by thanking this forum for providing the info to be able to repair my 15 year old CP1500AVRLCD UPS. Here is all the info I gathered during my trouble-shooting and re-capping.

            Like clockwork, I've had to replace the SLA batteries every 4 years. It was about that time and the UPS was acting like it needed new batteries... randomly shutting off with AC present, not being able to charge fully, and poor runtime when AC was removed. So, I replaced the batteries but noticed that it was not charging properly.

            I decided to verify that the batteries were...

            HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
            by momaka
            Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...
