When looking for surface mount capacitors with a high ripple current, I came across Nichicon UCZ. But I don't understand on the datasheet, UCZ is described as "Chip Type, High Reliability. Low temperature ESR specification."
What is Chip Type? I guessed it's for use with microcontrollers and other IC's, but don't really understand why to choose this series of capacitors.
I'm buying capacitors to repair a very heavily used (abused?) china made JBC clone, which has some difficulty with power-on recently. I frequently start and stop the iron so I thought maybe frequent power transients are wearing out whatever capacitors are inside. I'm waiting for a spare iron to arrive in the mail before I take this apart to diagnose it.
I already found this unit (Best BST-933B) has 3x 470uf 25v, 2x 220uf 16v, 4x 10uf 35v, 1x 22uf 35v
