I asked my blown cap what the problem was... It yelled better than factory and jumped into the 9th dimension.

Nice to see children kept close to family and not being raised by strangers. My father was self employed and my brothers and I would work with him, even when we were younger. Kept us out of trouble.

There is a reason why cap fails. Modern caps are made for max capacity in smallest form and they have thinner isolation layers. So any stress on them can make it break insulation and short

@davidhamm5626 10 ай бұрын

Yes, you are correct.

@theperson9736 10 ай бұрын

most caps also fail as a result of cheap, or weak materials.

@PileOfEmptyTapes 9 ай бұрын

MLCC ceramics are extremely brittle and can develop stress fractures when individual boards are being broken off in production (depending on location and orientation). This is also why you are not supposed to hand-solder them. Once the cracks are there, silver migration alongside the potential difference will eventually do the rest, the silver being contained in the lead-free solder. The combination of SMD and RoHS really hasn't done the reliability of ceramics any favors (which used to be very reliable in the days of through-hole and leaded solder). You can get shock-protected ceramics for automotive use, though as you might have guessed they are substantially bigger and more expensive.

Hello, excellent videos, sincerity in your repairs is appreciated, both in repairs and in those that are not possible due to costs, not all of them show the ugly part of this work, I congratulate you, one more thing would be good if you also show the readings in a small screen in the videos, readings in diode and resistance mode, in this way we would learn to see the behavior of semiconductors when they are shorted and when they are not, I know that many already know it but not all like me. THANK YOU and congratulations!!

@mutahher2k 9 ай бұрын

Capacitors are used for different purpose. I think here this cap is used to filter harmonics (or you can say stable the voltage). When a surge beyond its capability reached to it, burned it's dielectric layer by spark. So it is failed.

As an engineer, one thing I can say about caps is, manufacturers cut costs by lowering the voltage rating, often to something ridiculous like a 6.3V cap in a 5V circuit. The rule of thumb is that a cap voltage rating should be double the voltage of the circuit

@shiftctrlhack 10 ай бұрын

No he uses the regular ring light because the light output is much better when there no flux on the board to cause glare. You need both in combination to have good working light. Also the microscope camera he uses now versus the AF IMX290 camera he used to use takes in light differently. The ring light is great in many situations and then the gooseneck lights are good in other situations.
