Rubycon copycats - 'Rukycon'

[ben7]

Seen them before too, they are Rubycon imitators, like the infamous 'Rulycon'

In Swedish "Runka" means to jerk off
And "Ruky" sounds very similar when saying it.
So I'll call these caps a complete jerkoff

I had one of them bought for fun (counterfeit "YXA" series, used for testing only). The printing on these are low quality, blurry on the edges (while real ones have sharp defined edges). The "k" part looks a bit like "b". Of course, those familiar with real Rubycons will straight away notice the differences...

Re: Rubycon copycats - 'Rukycon'

Still, puzzled, where do bad batches (of production) go ???

Not to mention, safe (ecological) disposal (or destroying) costs money, versus some money could be earned through sell...

Let us know how it goes. Would actually be interesting to put them in some type of equipment where they get some real-life stress-tested. I bet they wouldn't last.

Rukycon?
How clever. What do you all think we will see next? Rudycon? I know there is Rudoycon out there already too

Ha! Really?

Really?

Ok, enough playing.
No, I'm pretty sure they aren't. Why?...
1) Can't see the bung or vent
2) Seller is based in China
3) Just look at the seller's name or other items he's selling

Rukycon?

May try it in a cheap multimedia speaker system (where usually the main capacitor is also made in China one), when I have the time (kinda busy nowadays, too many repair jobs came in)...

Re: Rubycon copycats - 'Rukycon'

Maybe do a "Great Capacitor Shootout 2". Rulycon vs. Rukycon vs. Fuhjyyu or something.

Here is my picture of the "Rukyon" capacitor, next to a real Rubycon. Can immediately notice the print quality. Spot the fake/counterfeit....

Why do people still use NOS 20+ year old turquoise Rubycon capacitors?

That was an unused Rubycon CE-W and was pretty old (leftover from many years back, didn't get the opportunity to use that last one and was put in cold storage). Nowadays for those sizes and capacitance, mostly using Nichicons and Panasonics...

And they're probably (still) better than various craps today.
