    Rubycon's new 3,3uF/400V D8×11,5mm caps, anybody interested?

    I've been somewhat monitoring this market because of LED lights, where chinese mount constantly smaller input 400V caps. Recently they started using D8 400V caps, especially for E27 bulbs. Rubycon just recently came up with new series of caps which has 3,3 uF/400 V D8x11,5 mm model, 15000 hours lifetime. As chinese crapacitors die within 2-5 years in the LED bulbs (depends on usage), this will be highly demanded capacitor in time.

    I can get these cheaper than even Farnell (which is getting them in march), aprox. USD 0.35 a piece basic selling price, if I take box of 3000 pcs. But it is still too much on purchase price for me, anybody would be interested in part of the order?

    Digikey carries 8mm Rubycon AX 400v 6.8uF caps... Not too exciting a series, but so far, the only cap of its kind in 8mm to replace equivalent OST caps in certain Linksys adapters.

      Interesting to know. However, this is standard cap with short 2000hours lifespan, and believe me, these tiny power supplies for LED will kill such cap in same time they kill chinese caps.

      Worse problem is, there is no such cap in Europe. Farnell has 4,7uF PX but with only 1000 hours@105 °C that's a year of continous run. And than these new caps available in march, more expensive than I can sell them.

        Farnell has ceased $8 shipping to Canada since November 2014. I told them I'll be using Digikey from now on (I think even Arrow will do $8 shipping, but their stock is pretty ordinary).

        Digikey now has Rubycon ZLS which is a nice new little series (And has 16V 2200uF caps in 10mm), and they also have 6.3v 3300uF in 10mm. I ordered a few for an old Enermax EG301P-VE I need for a motherboard that requires -5V.

        Farnell was pretty good with their discounts though. $20 shipping is outrageous though and against my principles.

          Yeah they are expensive here too. In this case the basic price does not look so bad, but if you want to buy from here, you pay czech VAT (21 %) and also that shipping so unless you take like 100 pcs, it is quite expensive per piece.

          Everything in D10, I have on stock ATM. Both 20mm tall caps for LCD monitors and taller caps for ATX PSUs…I know about those new Rubycons but Chemi-Con has lower prices and smaller MOQs. Will take KYB next time, those have slightly lower ESR than KYA. KYB in 1000 uF/25 V D10x20 (EKYB250ETD102MJ20S) are already ordered and being manufactured, together with KZH 680 uF/16 V D8x15 mm (EKZH160ETD681MH15D), they are often in smaller devices (some thin monitors, than switches, routers etc.).

          I guess I'll let it rest until more people are interested in them or I sell more of my stock, right now I have arround 2000 USD (purchase prices) in stock…the greatest disappointment for me is KXJ 150 uF/400 V, I sell them almost for half the price of local well known store. Many radio amateurs also told me how interested they are yet on yesterdays radio market NOBODY bought a single piece…

                Yageo 400V 680uF measuring 580uF
                by jm1234
                Hi,
                I have a Yageo 400V 680uF that is currently measuring 580uF (Measured by UNI-T UT603). Does that normally qualify for replacement?
                Details: Siemens tumble dryer getting Error 25 after an hour or so, on all last 3 runs.
                I checked the circuit boards quickly and this capacitor sticks out, nothing visible, not even bulging though. It costs 12euro, so I'd like to get your feedback first. The main thing on that board seems to be a motor controller (for the compressor) https://www.mouser.sk/ProductDetail/...xvzUNHBQ%3D%3D.
                Thanks...

                quecoo t12-952 Recap psu help needed
                by bord
                Got a soldering station with an internal psu (mains to 24V) which need to be recapped because the caps are all the dodgy "Yungli" brand with no series markings.
                The biggest cap at the bottom of the pic looks like a bulk cap (400V 33uF), the 2 caps at the top (35V 680uF), a small one just next to a heatsink on the left (50V 22uF), the 33uF and 680uF caps are marked with "low esr".

                Problem is that I can't get any low esr series cap in stock to replace the 400V 33uF from the local Farnell, only general purpose series available. The only option which seems...

                by sam_sam_sam
                I was looking for one on EBay but I am not sure what is considered a good brand and what is good price to consider when buying one
                Feed back wanted and website links are welcome ( I would refer a new one )

                I have a HP elite 8200/8300 computer that has a separate table top switching power supply ( that I planning on converting into a battery powered computer instead and I would refer a monitor that has an external switching power supply to power it )

                I plan on making a battery powered battery testing machine on a computer rack system

                ASUS P5A and P2B-S recapping. Searching old datasheets.
                by P4C800
                Hi,

                I'd like to recap some of my old mainboards (they are from 1998) before switching them on again for the first time after many years in storage. All caps still look good from the outside.
                There are three mainboards:
                - ASUS P5A rev 1.04
                - ASUS P2B-S rev 1.03 "Rubycon"
                - ASUS P2B-S rev 1.03 "Chemi-Con"

                If you are interested in their specs, The Retro Web has pages for the P5A and the P2B-S.

                They all have many 1000uF 6.3V 105°C capacitors. But there are some differences I cannot figure out.

                P5A

                Advice for replacements for some Rubycons in a Dell Precision 670
                by qwerki
                Hello, I was hoping some of you kind souls could give me some advice.

                I have a couple of old motherboards I'd like to have a go at repairing. They come from Dell Precision 670s, and the caps have gone bad.

                Ultimately, I intend on getting rid of them, but it's a fun project to practise my (de)soldering on, so I want to see if I can resurrect them, even if only temporarily. I'd also like to check if there's anything on the onboard RAID array I missed backing up (I don't think there is, but you never know).

                It's the VRM caps that visibly leaked, so I removed...
