Please note the capacitor explosion of P5K-E

[ineedaname]

And who proved that? Where are the datasheets to back up this claim?

Man if you just bothered to look up you would see KITT's picture urself....

Kitt's P5K-E


Newbeetle's P5K-E



560uf 6v vs 561uf 6.3v

I can't really make out the numbers on the equivalent blown cap on kitt's board but its obviously a different colour.
Looks like 271uf 16v vs 370uf 16v?

Do I still need data sheets?

RE:YoupY

Hmmm that's the same cap as newbeetle's blown cap and judging by my board its the same rated cap that blew too. I also noticed that my board has slightly different caps as YoupY. The ones surrounding the socket are the same as kitt's while the blown cap is the same as newbeetle's. I was a bit scared while trying 2 read it might've blown up in my eye.

After a second look I noticed that the blown cap is actually different than the one in my board. The top number is 744 on newbeetle's while mine is 724. Not quite sure what that number stands for. I wonder what the cap is on YoupY's board.
