new safety caps from Justradios
#17

Did I say Xicon, I was thinking of Xunda brand caps, Xicon makes cheap parts, and it shows in the gauge of wire leads they use, but I don't think that they are inherently bad or fraudulently rated. Xunda caps are garbage, they are the reason the Toshiba DVD player will not power up anymore. Lelon is a notorious crap capacitor brand, a Taiwan brand yet, I have a computer tower with several swollen Lelon caps on the motherboard, why Mouser pedals their trash I do not know. Su'scon is one I have seen fail in LCD monitors quite frequently. Then you have ones with a name that is sort of like a good name brand, but misspelled like Robycon
If you want to know which electrolytics to stay away from, try www.badcaps.net , whenever I find a mystery brand I run a search on that site. You can also try mystery brands of polyester film caps, I did with the TC brand ones some places sell, it seems there is nothing noteworthy about them, at least in a negative way.

Arran
