Has anyone tried this new series? It is supposed to replace the FM series as I know. They seem well priced and have greater endurance.
I would like to use them as reservoir caps in regulator designs.

I use them alot in my PSUs.
Reasonabely priced and good cap. Used to take FC/FM series before, now i'm using only FR

Good Cap for PSU.
I'm using only FR now (FC before)
Take care of a bit lower ESR than FC/FM series

Thanks! Why take care of the lower esr? It is actually a useful plus, do you mean if I will use them for drop-in replacements? Because I will not.
I too have switched from FC to FR. I use them exclusively in electrolytic applications that they have values for.
Because some voltage regulators need some esr for stability if you use such a capacitor from regulator output to ground.
Thanks for the answer, but I am already quite aware of that. 🙂
I asked since I particularly said that I will use them as reservoirs, where ESR usually needs to be low for low losses.
New arrived Panasonic FR (Made in Malaysia) - Fake or new outline ???
Some days ago I have ordered some electrolytic caps from Panasonic's FR series - go to
http://docs-europe.electrocomponents.com/webdocs/154d/0900766b8154d315.pdf
Today I receive this capacitors - unfortunately the outline looks like this:
EEUFR1H471 | Panasonic FR, THT Alu Kondensator, Elko radial 470μF +-20%, 50 V dc, O 12,5mm, –40 → +105 degC | Panasonic
I don't find the usually used and good known "M" logo as you can see here:

Maybe one of the members know, whether this are fakes or not - thank you for your advices.
