Post help identifying capacitors here

[Uranium-235]

There are so many 'Help me identify this' threads we need a single stickeyed thread and TC has agreed

[Topcat]

Probably need to combine a lot of these others into one and FAQ it.

I think just starting fresh would help and we can do the rest later. Actually I think there is so many it might be pointless to combine all those thousands

It's stickied. Perhaps just link some of the many in here, so there's some reference material.

Or just a link that does a search on this forum for the word "identify"

[ChaosLegionnaire]

ok let me start by contributing to this thread, the famous japanese website link that is used to identify many brands of polymer/solid capacitors: http://capacitor.web.fc2.com/solidcapacitor.html

and to the newbies reading this, just use google translate by copy-pasting to translate the japanese text on the webpage to understand what they are saying in japanese.

Please could someone help me identify what the capacitance, voltage, tolerance and package of this cap is please?

Written on the cap's head:

470
jFK
6K3

Many thanks in advance

I already answered in your other thread
It is a Panasonic FK series 47µf 63v

Thanks for that. I was just following the instructions to move it to this thread.

Can anybody identify these "ELFL" ones? Found them bulged in a 15 years old office table motor controller with a blown bridge rectifier. Looking for a datasheet but couldn't find anything with "ELFL".

look for more writing like uf and voltage

Other than being from china, I can find no original company manufacturer. Like, none

The basic values are there, but no (known to me) manufacturer, no series name, no date code.

Me neither, found an old useless mfrbee.com entry pointing to China and nothing else. Ok, I think it is necessary to take a closer look at the circuit to find suitable replacement types. Will do that later in the power supply forum.

Thanks for commenting.

Can anyone identify this component for me please? It's from an Asus US425IA motherboard. The writing on the component reads "ML KABK EKBD"

Attached images of above question

That looks more like a MOSFET or DC-DC converter IC to me, from the little I can see.

Oops sorry, I just realised this thread is only for caps. I'll move it to a different thread.

I have an Alienware Area 51m laptop that blew a surface mount aluminum cap.

I've attached an image showing the following lettering:

8 N
100
EZY

I know it's 100uF 25V series ZY but I'm coming up dry on locating the manufacturer.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Looks like Panasonic to me, maybe some vendors special series, but if you'll look close to letter E, it's slightly bigger then other letters, like in Panasonic caps, but this is only thing that reminds me of panasonic caps

http://capacitor.web.fc2.com/ idk where i found this site, but there is so much info, especially on cheap chinese caps, and also there is info on ELFL, but it's in japanese, but translatable



Official company name: Changzhou Anyway International Co., Ltd.
Headquarters: China

Comment: Changzhou has two brands of capacitors, "HZC" and "ELFL", so please also refer to the HZC item. ELFL is related to self-made PCs and there is no report of installation, but ELFL is also posted because there is a capacitor item of the brand HZC of the company.

About HZC: It is said that it is used in recent cheap USB cards and NICs. There is also a report that Scythe's sickle bay amplifier Rev2.0 is also installed. Changzhou has two brands of capacitors, "HZC" and "ELFL".
