| Rubycon capacitors from lcsc.com - possibly counterfeit? |
| (1/2) > >> |

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. |

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. |

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: |

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. |
