    10mm Power Supply Capacitors

    It seems the vast majority of PSU are using 8mm and 10mm craps such as TEAPO, OST, and Fuhkyoo. Finding quality replacement caps in these diameters is proving difficult. Specifically, I am looking for 16v/2200, 10v/3300.

    These series can match the 10v, 16v diameters
    Rubycon: PX, ZL, ZLG, ZLH
    Samxon: GC, GD

    I understand Rubycon recommends their Zxx series for power supply use. I don't know about the Samxon GC,GD series.

    Q1: Are the above Samxon optimal for PSU use?
    Q2: Anybody have a source for the Rubycon Z series?

    re Q2: Farnell usually stocks ZL, ZLH and ZLG. Not exactly cheap, though.

      Pansonic FJ 1800uF/16v/10 mm is an excellent choice for the 16v rail. It helps if there are two caps on that rail for a measure of redundancy.

      The other substitution is harder - I tend to use NCC LXZ 2200/6.3v/10mm inboard of the pi-filter, and Nichicon HM 3300/6.3v/10mm outboard, if there's sufficient air-flow. Or try to shoehorn a 12.5 mm cap in one or more locations.

        Here in the states I am limited to what is financially feasible. Farnell is not feasible. The prices are simply too high, and shipping is awful.

        Wai Fong in Hong Kong is OK, but their stock is terribly limited. $20 USD for FedEx is OK, if one buy sufficient product to make it worth while. I get a good price break on 200pc bags.. but that is a lot of caps for somebody who is not doing this full time. The 50pc bags are higher unit price, but affordable.

        I have to check with Big Pope, as the Samxon GC, GD look like good prospects.

          I used Samxon GD/GC in power supply for a few years, there is no any problem till to now. Besides, now Samxon GT/RS available in D10mm 10V2200uF, 16V/2200uF, 10V 3300uF and 16V 3300uF.

          Samxon GT and RS both ae long life series, will be more reliable if anyone worry about the life for GD/GC in power supply or LCD monitors.

            The GT looks like the better choice for power supplies, yes?

            I'm looking for *the best* series for power supply use.

              If you ask me this question, i will reply you yes, it is the best series of Samxon for power supplies.

              I am planning a event for Samxon GT as replacements for many LCD monitors which infected by issues Samxon GF. Of course it is free of charge, like a testing events for public. Please a few days.

                Re: 10mm Power Supply Capacitors

                Your web data base shows GT caps for 16v / 2200uF in 10mm diameter, but the data sheets only show 12.5mm x 25.

                If you have GT 16v/2200 in 10mm, please let me know.

                  Yes, factory can custom made GT 16V/2200uF in D10mm.

                    Re: 10mm Power Supply Capacitors

                    A custom build is OK for a power supply manufacturer ordering thousands of D10mm Samxon instead of using TEAPO, but it doesn't help me. I only order about 200pc of a given capacitor.

                        Re: 10mm Power Supply Capacitors

                        I am going to place a custom order for Samxon GT in the sizes I need. The price is acceptable when purchased in bulk. Frankly, I'm amazed the factory can accomodate small custom orders... but I will certainly take it.

                        Finding top grade PSU caps in 10mm is difficult. I have to disassemble a new PSU to determine the final cap value, which is an 8mm diameter. I did make a score on 12.5mm ZL and 10mm MBZ stock, but neither will work in my PSU of choice.

                          Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                          by Tynan Dill
                          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                          Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
                          by sam_sam_sam
                          I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                          One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

                          by sam_sam_sam
                          I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

                          I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

                          Definitive technology SC 2000 subwoofer amp's power supply clicking and popping
                          by JimBanville
                          The sub developed a constant popping every couple seconds from woofer and power LED flickering with nothing but wall AC connected. Connecting an audio cable didn't change anything. It doesn't play but a second or two of audio in between the pops.
                          Opened it up and discovered the power supply is making a faint clicking or ticking sound.
                          I measured the amp's output to the woofer and it pulses up to 50mv DC to be driver. The pulses coincide with the power supply ticking/clicking.
                          I measured the power supply output going to the amp board and it too has this pulsing. Voltage cycles...

                          555 based power supply getting too hot
                          by madan1
                          Good day.
                          I have an AC/DC -> DC PWM (rectifier + 555 buck converter) power supply with MDF11n60, which is getting very hot.
                          The input is AC from a transformer and the output powers a 24v dc fan. The power supply is used to regulate the speed of the fan.
                          After several runs on the bench power supply I noticed that the mosfet is reaching 80+C*. The mosfet reads fine on component tester, the thermal paste is changed, the fan is cleaned and with freshly oiled bearings.
                          When powered directly from the bench psu, the fan takes ~0.7A on 12V. The current consumption is similar...
