Fleabay "Nippon" Caps

[c_hegge]

I saw this on fleabay yesterday. The seller claims that they are nippon (chemi-con) caps but...

... they are really the infamous Sacon FZ (or so the picture suggests)

I bought a lot of 10 off him just to see what they really are. If they are actually sacon FZ, they're going in a fire.

Asrock likes using a kind of caps with blue marking on them. They look sort of like Nippon Chemi-con polymers at the first glance. But when I looked carefully, I noticed that the blue colour on those caps is a little darker than the one on NCCs. Could they be Sacon as well?

[c_hegge]

nah, sacon have the "FZ__" markings on them. I can't really make out the markings on those, but they don't look like FZ

I just did some research on Sacon. Some people advertise that Sacon is a Korean brand. It's official webisite suggests it's a Taiwanese brand though.

[c_hegge]

Sacon is indeed Taiwanese, formerly known as GSC. They are the most unreliable brand of cap out there (arguabally worse than fuhjyyu).

Hoping the caps you bought from fleabay are indeed NCC polymers. Otherwise you have to DIY firecracker with them

[c_hegge]

I'll let you know what happens when I recieve them.

[duckula]

Have you received it?

[c_hegge]

Ah, yes, I did. They are indeed sacon FZ. I'm going to hold them by the legs in pliers over a candle. Easy DIY firecrackers.
