Rubycon capacitors from lcsc.com - possibly counterfeit?
(1/2) > >>
futurist:
Hi everyone,

I ordered Rubycon capacitors from lcsc.com multiple times and every capacitor had a low quality silkscreen marking so I thought that was normal
Few days ago I received similar capacitors from mouser, however their marking was different. I wonder if ones from lcsc.com might be counterfeit?

Check attached photos, bottom capacitor is from mouser, top one is from lcsc. They are of a different type, ZLH from lcsc and PK from mouser, but I also have PK type from lcsc with the same marking.
SteveyG:
Definitely looks suspect, I would raise it with them. They have a counterfeit guarantee, so will either refund or supply the correct part.

I've ordered many Rubycon capacitors from LCSC and they all look like the bottom capacitor.
voltsandjolts:
It's hard to know for sure.
Being different types, they could well be manufactured at a different location and legitimately have a different 'look n feel'.

It's the same problem with ICs but at least you can crack them open and check the die looks legit.
Although that's no absolute guarantee either :scared:
wraper:
I have genuine Rubycon ZL and they look somewhere in between but closer to crappier one. Post pictures of top and bottom, it's quite important when distinguishing counterfeits.
Kjelt:
Can you post fotos of the top?
The (forget the english name) in case of over temp vent cuttings in the top are pretty unique per brand.
