Re: Why do people use TEAPO / YAGEO / G-LUXON?
Continuing with the phenomenon, terms 'inconsistent' and 'heat sensitive' are used a lot-- but is that actually true? As mentioned previously, I found these capacitors exploded in locations where heat was not an issue-- and they were screwing my analog synthesizer over due to voltage sensitivity-- which on a small scale example would mean you should NEVER use them in a PSU.
The problem with 'primaries' from TEAPO, OST and... Fuhjyyu are that the ripple tolerance is poor, they let excessive noise through, and will most likely not perform to spec.
I actually own LiteON, Delta, and HIPRO PSUs with quality caps-- depends if the OEM specifies this or not. For example, one AcBel PSU I own is stuffed to the brim with rubycons, the other half-width ATX AcBel had TEAPOs-- I threw it out; perhaps I should have recapped it as AcBel has nice designs.... oh well.
I found a Power Mac G5 AcBel stuffed with TEAPOs. Yeah... threw that sucker out.
In retrospect I think I should have kept those caps-- we could have done a nice experiment to 'show off' how they all behave. I'll stay on the lookout for some later.
Perhaps a voltage / ripple / ESR / noise / heat tolerance comparison would settle the (dare I say) 'inconsistent' opinions once and for all?
