Capacitor identity

[SH73]

Can someone identify this capacitor. It's on a PS1 power board. The top looks a bit bulge so I think need replacing . The power board fuse keeps blowing everytine I plug in the power supply. I think I may try to replace the capacitor once I have the correct one. Picture of capacitor and fuse space . Thank you

Probably worth sending a pic to Nichicon UK - trouble is it could be a special made for the ps board manufacturer, but their tech boys should be able to identify it

replacement board is cheap

Sold out ,I'm afraid and more expensive on eBay, it's the price of a second hand ps 1

Robert Ludlum's follow up series of books never really caught on.

Not grounded in reality...

Something from the printings:

H9925 is most likely production year 1999 and week 25.

400 V is obvious.

VZ series

39 microfarads? See the list:

47uF Electrolytic - get it the right way round.

Later or earlier revisions? 🤣

 

Maybe it was a known issue...

Yep, it's 47 uF C003 400v, for Nichicon ZSSR706HA power board , but is it? Could be 37 uf.

As @itu states that model has a revision using 39uF and that would tie in with the 39 on the case.

 

Not sure why there's not plastic sleeve on it though.

The plastic sleeve makes it harder to search, would a 49uf 400 volt work. Like this one.

I'd stick with 39uF.

 

Ignore the long skinny photo the cap is 12.5mm dia by 25mm high. See if that's a similar size to what you have.

Mine is 16mm by 20 mm, but looks like room to fit a 25 mm.

£9.99 handling charge ,comes to nearly 14 quid 🤣

Buy some other bits at the same time. Components are expensive if you buy them one at a time.

That makes sense , wish we lived in 80s when these were available in some high street shops.

Check the lead spacing, that's very important.
