I have a problem with a bunch of Diskless workstation, they are exploding a
filter cap near the CPU. The origional Part is a 1000uf 6.3v. I replaced
them with 1000uf 16v. This new capacitor lasted almost a year. I assume the
ESR at the switching frequency is generating too much heat.
Does anyone have a recomendation for replacing this failing Capacitor?
I am space limited. The origional cap is about 300 mil dia. by 600 mil
height.
Should I increase the capacitance?
Should I increase the voltage rating?
Should I parallel multiple capacitors of reduced value? (spreading the heat
load?)
Should I attempt to find a custom capacitor with a lower ESR value?
