ServoPod Voltage Regulator & Capacitors

[ngkdc]

I'm troubleshooting an intermittent problem with the 3.3 volt regulator (VR2) on a servopod ... and am wondering what the capacitor type is for C5. The code A429 doesn't point me in any particular direction on Nichicon's website.

I'm trying to see what the ESR of C5 is, and trying to understand why I am having heat-related shutdown issues.

I have the ServoPod running on my desk at the moment, but as per usual when chasing down intermittents, it's not cooperating fully now that I've got the scope on the 5V and 3.3V lines.

Thanks

Thanks for the info. Nichicon rep is getting me the ESR value for this part.
