SMT Electrolytic Capacitor with no Voltage Rating

@colossus.lbk

I found the P16533CT-ND based on the information you have given.

Thanks. Would using a 330uf 16v work? I dont have 11 weeks to get a part for this repair.

It will work electrically (higher voltage is always OK for electrolytic capacitors), however it may not fit on the circuit board (higher voltage = larger size).

Hi to all! If you can help me I can’t find it

Hello Dj_Gunay20,

That capacitor appears to be ULR2G4R7MNL1GS from Nichicon. You should be able to confirm part marking with this datasheet.

Hello there

Can someone help me identifying this 1000uF capacitor please? It’s used for smoothing voltage before regulation and it’s on a 5V line - more 4.25V.

Can it really be only a 6V one?
Thanks!

It most likely is 6.3V, though I agree that it would seem to be a borderline voltage rating for a 5V input.

I would recommend that you measure the diameter and determine the maximum height that would fit in your application. Then pick a higher voltage cap which fits, if possible. Also, for best performance, pick one rated for higher temperatures, longer life, lower impedance/ESR, and higher ripple current capability.

Here’s a starting point for you.

Thank you David, appreciated.

So far I have replaced them with these:

I normally use Panasonic but recently I stumbled into another big brand (Cannot remember which one, nichicon, Rubycon etc) who seemed to offer SMD caps of much longer life compared to the Panasonic ones?

Given the dimension (10mm diameter, no limitations in height), would you recommend something else?

Thanks again!

Panasonic makes quality products. That being said, if you are looking for maximum life expectancy, here’s a link to some rated for 5000 hrs at 105°C and still with good ripple current specs. This includes Panasonic parts as well as other quality makes, including Rubycon, Nichicon, Kyocera AVX, and Chemi-Con.

As a note, with standard aluminum electrolytic caps, for every 10°C cooler you keep the capacitor, the life roughly doubles. So, for a part rated for 5000 hrs at 105°C, it should last 10,000hrs at 95°C and 20,000hrs at 85°C and so on.

oh this is amazing, I was wondering how temp and operating voltage were affecting the life of the caps.
I am good then, with double the voltage and added ventilation on 105C caps, it seems those caps will outlive me :slight_smile:

Thanks for your help, appreciated.

Glad to help. Additionally, running at lower than maximum voltage and ripple current will extend life significantly as well, though the formulae are not as straight forward as for temperature.

One minor point – the longer life and higher temperature ratings are due to the chemistry (the electrolyte formula) and construction (materials and mechanical assembly) used in a particular capacitor series rather than added ventilation.

Absolutely - sorry I wasn’t clear.

What I meant is that the devices I am repairing are lacking ventilation so in a stock condition their components would normally run at 60/70C. Some over 90C.

With added ventilation everything runs at 40C. So by selecting 105C capacitors with a voltage rating of more than twice the operating voltage, I see that their expected life is going to be pretty long!

I found this calculator online, I didn’t know these things could be calculated: https://eepower.com/tools/electrolytic-capacitor-life-calculator/

Looking for this capacitor. 6.35mm diameter, approx 4.76mm height.

Hello jmohler, welcome to the TechForum.
The marking should mean: 100uf, 16V, the G is a series indicator. The 752 would be a date code.
Click here for some possible matches.
These options will have a 6.6mm X 6.6mm base, and the height off the board range from 5.4mm ~ 5.7mm. Please check the datasheets to verify compatibility.

Great!! Thank you!

Looking for this cap, probably 18uF 80V.

Thanks.

100SXV18M Please verify the physical size.

Hello,
Looking for help to find correct capacitors, since series G seems not existing anymore.

Hello,

Thank you for your post. With not knowing the exact physical dimensions of each of those, I was able to narrow down our options for each capacitance and to be safe I went with 50v for each size which should not be a problem. Here is a link to what we have in stock for those ratings - General Purpose Surface Mount Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors | Electronic Components Distributor DigiKey

Thank you very much!
