Replacement PS caps
« on: 4 Mar 2010, 06:42 pm »
My Netgear ReadyNAS NV powersupply blew 3 electrolytic smoothing caps. It is a common failure for this nas. The stock caps are chinese brand I never heard of before. The caps are an odd size so I can't find them at the normal sources, digikey, mouser, etc.

Does anyone know where I can buy 2200uF, 10V, 105C, 8mm x 25mm aluminum can electrolytic caps?

10mm wide caps will not fit, it's very tight. 
Thanks for any help!

Digikey or mouser will hook you up.

That's OK sts. Thanks anyway. I wish they did, I could put in some nice nichicons.

The brand of caps that failed is called Fuhjyyu, made in Taiwan. They are a problem in a lot of computer and consumer gear that fell for the low price. They stole the electrolyte formula from a Japanese mfg but didn't get it right.

EDIT: I ordered a replacement power supply for 100 bucks. Hopefully it uses better quality caps this time.
Thanks
