rray Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 A capacitor in a power supply exploded. It is 2200uf 25v. I attached a photo of the other side. Is this just a "standard" capacitor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero999 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Yes, it's a standard aluminium capacitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rray Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Good, I was wondering if maybe the 10 on the end of the number string meant 10%. I will have to wait to order one until I have enough to justify the shipping charges.ThanksRichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero999 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Tolerance is normally specified as +/-20% or more typically -20/+80% for such a capacitor. If it has a tolerance of 10% then that's too good to be true for an aluminium electrolytic capacitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
