Parasound Halo Capacitor Help

[XsamuraiX]

Hi all, just have a quck question.

My Parasound went down (own 3 amps and all died within 2 months of each other) so, the main power cap in the Parasound is: input 100-240vac - 150uf 400v with extra values on the side (pic included) question is, I saw this cap on ebay: EPCOS Capacitor 150Uf 400V B43504A9157M

and

CAPACITOR, 150UF 400V
Capacitance: 150F
Capacitance Tolerance: 20%
Capacitor Terminals: Radial Leaded

SVHC: No SVHC (19-Dec-2011)
Voltage Rating: 400V
AC Ripple Current: 0.82A
Approval Category: IEC 384-4
Capacitor Mounting: Through Hole
External Length / Height: 40mm
Impedance: 730mohm
No. of Pins: 2

Would this be ok to use? As I do NOT! want to use some second rate cap, all I have seen has not got the extra values on the side and I sure do not want to damage my amp

Anyone?

I would go with a major dist. i.e digi-key mouser allied etc be ofr buying off ebay .

PT-65C: MEAN WELL: Power Supplies & Wall Adapters I did a bit of digging around and found this AC power supply made by Mean well what the HALO C2's use, question is, again, they seem to be only around £11 odd for the whole thing. So, would it be worth buying a capacitor, seeing as this AC board seems to use only a specific type of capacitor, or just order the whole thing?

If that 1 cap you showed needs to be replaced, what about the other 10 on same board??? Taiwan had some trouble with bad caps some time ago, so all could go or be bad if taiwanese from that era.

I tested them all, they read all of the uF readings correctly just the main one didn't, besides, I can't seem to find a single cap anywhere that can do these multiple voltages... Seeing as this whole new board is from 2013 odd, surely the caps even if they are made in Taiwan should be ok?

voltages on sticker are specs for entire PSU, not for that 1 cap.
2013??? replaced a couple of months ago then?
and 3 amps failing same time??? what happened?

 

[XsamuraiX]

I meant, these power supplies are of the modern era, surely they can't be "old stock" so, the caps should be good on them?

I ordered the part anyway, saves time and hassle... Then if I ever sell it I can sell it with a spare PSU

Thanks people, I have repaired it now, just ordered the new part from the US, now up and running again...
