Review on Pack Of 100 Aluminum Radial Lead Electrolytic Capacitors, 47UF 25V, 5X11 Size by Christian Barnes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Saved so many NES games

I have a collection of about 20 NES games I acquired that where sitting in a basement for years and then headed to the dump. I saved them from the trash heap but basically none of them worked. Upon opening them I realized all of them had this specific capacitor and every single one had popped and leaked even the few games that did still work had bad caps and electrolytes all over the boards.Replacing the caps with these and cleaning all the boards saved every single one of the games to my amazement.

Pros
  • These capacitors are compact in size, making them easy to fit into tight spaces in electronic circuits
Cons
  • While these capacitors come in a bulk pack, their small size and inexpensive nature can sometimes make them prone to failure. If one capacitor in the pack fails due to voltage or temperature fluctuations, there is a possibility that other capacitors in the pack may also be affected. This can lead to malfunctioning of the electronic device or circuit
