Alright, I’ve got a real challenge today.I’m trying to replace the main capacitor in a Leica SF 64 camera flash (basically a rebadged Metz unit). The cap inside is a Rubycon, sleeve says “331 69 0047 (PET)” but there’s no capacitance or voltage printed anywhere. Does anyone know the actual rating/specs for this part, or what the correct replacement would be? Has anyone cracked open an SF 64 / Metz 64 AF-1 and identified the flash cap before? Cap is about 25mm diameter × just under 45mm length if that helps. I know photo flash caps are usually in the ~330 V, 300–500 µF range, but I’d like to be sure before ordering.Should I just reach out to Rubycon with the part code, or is there already a known cross-reference?(And yes, I’m discharging safely before handling.)
Update: So I've just determined that it's not the capacitor that's bad. My theory is that it's the trigger transformer or something else in the firing path for the device.
>>1539842If it's a big storage cap, the capacitance and voltage values probably aren't critical as long as they're at least as high as the values on the old cap. Just make sure not to hook it up backwards LOL
