Hi guys!
The old KMF/LXZ/Nichicon electrolytic capacitors fitted in the SMPS power supply are in need of replacement, however these KMF/LXZ types are no longer available.
I am having terrible trouble deciphering the (Ripple Currant / ESR / Impedance) specifications that seem so important with SMPS power supplies to avoid mismatched components that could perhaps cause ringing or other problems with mismatched components.
I cant seem to find any of the new capacitors with the same Impedance or ripple currant specs, would installing a capacitor with a lower "Ripple Currant" rating as all the new capacitors seem to be, damage the power supply if installed?
The many online suppliers Min-Max specifications are very confusing.
Are there any specific types of electrolytic capacitors you would recommend for an SMPS power supply?
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards
Brant
