Capacitor Reference - PowerBook 100 Series AC Adapters

There were a few different revisions of the PowerBook 100 Series AC Adapters (at least four of them) which all use varying caps. Some of them use ELNA LongLife series caps which ALWAYS leak and MUST be replaced. I'd highly recommend recapping any revision of these supplies as they are all known to be unreliable with original caps.


Reference Values

APS-20U (Apple P/Ns M5140 and M5651)

These supplies use ELNA caps and should be a recap on sight.

Capacitor Value Type
C201 1200uf 16v Radial Electrolytic
C302 180uf 16v Radial Electrolytic
C207 82uf 16v Radial Electrolytic
C108 47uf 400v Radial Electrolytic
C105 47uf 50v Radial Electrolytic
C151 33uf 35v Radial Electrolytic
C252 1uf 50v Radial Electrolytic

APS-46U (Apple P/N M5652)

This is the 3A supply that is required for the PowerBook 165c and 180c. It does not have any ELNA caps inside.

Capacitor Value Type
C209 2200uf 16v Radial Electrolytic
C211 470uf 16v Radial Electrolytic
82uf 400v C108 Radial Electrolytic
C111 47uf 50v Radial Electrolytic
