Anybody have any extra 6.3v capacitors?

[neonerd]

I have an old DFI mobo (socket A) with a blown capacitor...i thought i had some lying around, but couldn't find one like this...It's a 6.3v one, and says "2200µF 6.3v" on it. Made by "G-Luxon"

not sure if manufacturer matters, but does anybody have any extra capacitors they'd be willing to send me? I just need one for this.

Cheers :beer:

manufacturer doesnt matter... heck even if you have a 10V 2200uf you can use that it wont matter. close will work in the cap world.

rip open some dead psu's.... tons of caps in there.

take it to radio shack and see if they have any.

the only capacitors i have are on working boards, and i don't really want to sacrifice those

i was thinking if anyone had any off of broken boards or whatnot, they'd be willing to send me it. I found one broken p3 board, but it has no capacitors on it

i do not, but the radio shack idea is a good idea, they can either order it, or they'lll already have it in stock.

forgot about those

thanks

2200uF is pretty large, given the capacitance and the voltage rating, I'd be willing to bet that it's there for voltage regulation purposes and can probably be replaced by anything in the same order of magnitude without worrying about it. Just make sure that the rated voltage of the cap you replace it with is equal or higher; also, note the polarization of the cap before you remove the old one.

Another vote for Radio Shack

You'd most likely be OK since the caps are so large and numerous, but cheap caps can cause problems in switching regulators if they have very high ESR or poor frequency response.
