    Chemi-con ends production of large part of caps

    Been recently informed that NCC is EoL'ing many caps from ALL series, some series (like LE, long life, medium ESR/RC) will end as a whole.

    From what I've seen, D5, D6.3 and D8 caps are affected. So ALL the small caps, either standard or low-ESR, and many caps in filtering (in D8, especially FSP, but many others use that in output filters in SMPS).

    Last order accepted in 2024, so I will try to restock and pre-stock as many as possible to keep them caps flowing, but at the very last about 2030 I will most likely run out. Could only hope that other manufacturers won't go crazy like that, that at least some japanese will remain. But most of the other do have distributors with crazy MOQ's so that's gonna hurt me. Could only hope cap business will go high enough by that time that like 5000 pcs MOQ will be something I can handle.

    Re: Chemi-con ends production of large part of caps

    since they've already started creating problems even though new orders should still be accepted, I've started ordering Rubycon PX as general-purpose series to keep on stock

    it helped that over the years, competing distributor got himself insurance for payment inability (of his customers) so now I could order with payment-after-delivery right away, besides, Rubycon currently has 13 weeks faster delivery, that makes a difference (only if I knew that sooner )

      Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
      by eryjus
      Hello,

      First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

      I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

      I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."

      Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
      by Paxman_Swede
      Hello!

      I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

      The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

      I have studied the board and...

      Help with switching power supply caps
      by captain150
      I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
      I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...

      Gigabyte GA-6OXT :: caps question
      by Foetuss
      Good evening

      I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
      Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

      But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
      Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...

      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:
