Capacitors Manufacturer Tier List

[Mikorist]

Slučajno tražeći nešto oko PC...naleteh koji su najbolji kondezatori u napajanjima...idu po grupama:

First-Tier Caps
Even the Japanese manufacturers include some mainstream lines in their portfolios, which aren't as good as their top-of-the-line products. So, in addition to the brand, we always take a closer look at the product family and its specifications to better judge capacitor quality and to make a rough estimation of their lifetime. 

All Japanese caps are considered of high quality, and we like to see the following cap brands:

1. Rubycon
2. United Chemi-Con (or Nippon Chemi-Con)
3. Nichicon
4. Sanyo/Suncon
5. Panasonic
6. Hitachi
7. FPCAP or Functional Polymer Capacitor (ex-Fujitsu caps segment, which was bought by Nichicon)
8. ELNA

Besides Japanese manufacturers there are also several US and European vendors that make high-quality capacitors. Probably we won't meet any of the below cap brands inside a consumer grade PSU, at least their electrolytic offerings, but we decided that it still worth mentioning them.

1. Cornell Dubilier (USA)
2. Illinois Capacitor (Currently owned my Cornell Dubilier)
3. Kemet Corporation (USA)
4. Vishay (USA)
5. EPCOS (TDK company, Germany)
6. Würth Elektronik (Germany)

Second-Tier Caps
On this list you will find capacitors made by some of the Taiwanese manufacturers, which often use factories in China. These caps perform well, so they are usually used in mid-level PSUs and sometimes even in high-end units, and they strike a balance between good performance and affordable prices.

1. Taicon (belongs to Nichicon)
2. Teapo
3. SamXon (except GF series which belongs to a lower Tier)
4. OST
5. Toshin Kogyo

Third-Tier Caps
These third-tier capacitors, according to information from various PSU manufacturers and people with knowledge of RMA statistics, along with our own experiences with caps, might not be among the best choices, but are still a grade above the caps that belong to the last category.

1. Jamicon
2. CapXon

Fourth-Tier Caps
This group includes the rest of the capacitor brands. When you see one of these brands in a contemporary PSU, you’ll know that the manufacturer set lower-cost production as a priority instead of reliability over time. We are listing only the popular cap brands that are usually found in low-cost PSUs, but we are well aware that many other low-cost cap brands exist and there is a good chance that you'll find them in non-branded PSU, and even in some branded units.

1. G-Luxon
2. Su'scon
3. Elite
4. Lelon
5. Ltec
6. Jun Fu
7. Fuhjyyu
8. Evercon

Dodao bih jos TRW, kao jako dobre kondenzatore, povremeno ih ima na raznim bazarima, u raznim cenama(i raznih tipova), e sad, ne znam da li ih je pokupio neko drugi, bili su pod Northrop Grumman-om

[чика-Брка]

il sam corav ili na spisku ne vidim F & T caps (Fischer & Tausche).

odlicni kondovi, pogotovo bipolarci (za skretnice).

[крокодил]

Je li to Wurth kupio neku fabriku? Do pre nekoliko godina, sve su narucivali kod raznih oem proizvodjaca ?

Firma je i nastala kao dobavljac, snabdevac svega i svacega, ali su imali samo svoju ambalazu...

Kad audiofil kaze da postoje razlike medju kondenzatorima u audio uredjajima onda kompjuteras kaze da je to glupost i na to jos izvali gomile postova podsmevanja. A kad kompjuteras procita negde ( ne njegovo sikustvo vec ko zna cije) da postoje razlike u kondenzatorima u PC napajanjima onda je to zakon i tu nema sta da se prica.

Ja se ne slazem sa navedenim spiskom. Mislim da United chemicon ne moze biti bolji od Nichicona i Panasonica. Provereno mnogo puta. A i napajanja koja najduze rade su Corsair a oni koriste Nichicon

[vladd]

Ima tu jos brdo profi firmi, francuskih Leklanse, Exxelia...malo uze namenski ali vrhunski.

I daleko da su jeftini, jedino im nije testirana "muzikalnost"  

Ali zato, kada  u cottage fabricici batica zaradjuje za studije, i petlja sa zicom bez rukavica, ee, to otvara pozornicu, definise vazduh....

Cosair is  A Superflower/Seasonic that has a Cosair sticker on it. 

[Impuls]

Ja imam i corsair RMX i Seasonic Prime i totalno se razlikuju. XFX je Corsair. Sad vidim da je XFX poceo uzimati od Seasonica napajanja a i AX serija corsaira je na bazi Seasonica

Seasonic proizvodi Corsair PC-power supplies i mozda sve ostale jake brandove ...

Po ovom iznad Mikinom spisku malo je Corsairovih proizvedeno u Seasonicu, vise CWT. A imam i seasonic i corsair rmx i znam pouzdano da se znatno razlikuju

[Mikorist]

Seasonic PRIME 850W Gold

Nisam rekao da ih ne stavljaju nego da je i panasonic i nichicon kvalitetniji od united chemicon. Ali je united chemicon jeftiniji i preovladjuje u upotrebi. Moje iskustvo sa starim uredjajima je bas takvo da i Elna i united chemicon propadnu a nichicon i panasonic jos traju. Sem u tuneru Pioneer F99x gde je toliko malo prostora a visoka temperatura pa i Nichicon propadnu nakon 15 godina svakodnevnog rada

a ja ne rekoh ništa

ovo recimo nije gašeno od 2012 godine u server hali....ali su kondovi na 105°C svi...

Ti veliki su retko kad problem, oni malecki prvi krepavaju, pogotovo ako su naslonjeni na neki hladnjak ili keramicki otpornik.
