Identify a capacitor

[Jaxmoto]

Weekend warrior, I'm not great with the terminology...  looks like what I call a vertical surface mount aluminium cap.

The markings are (in this order and shape):
54 (maybe 5  4)
220
6s (the s is underlined)

Here is a picture of one of the good caps that are next to it (I can read everything on the bad one so I know it is the same).

Also, I have a huge inventory of thru-hole regular caps, would it be ok to use one (with proper specs) in place to test the board?

Electrolytic 220uF 6V.
Sure, anything similar will do for a quick check

Thanks.  Normally I'm pretty good at finding this stuff myself but I couldn't find any reference to a "6s" cap.

It's not 6v ... or it's unlikely to be 6v.

The S may be a code representing the voltage rating (but the code varies from manufacturer to manufacturer), or the 4 in "5 4" may tell you the voltage (4V).  The numeric voltage ratings are somewhat standardized and the most common ones are 2.5v, 4v, 6.3v, 10v, 16v, 25v etc

Otherwise, I'm fairly sure it's a 220uF.. usually when there is enough room on the capacitor, the actual value is printed.  When the cap is very small, they often use the notation where the last digit is the number of zeroes .. for example 821 means 82x10 = 820uF

I dropped on a 220uF 25v since there was room and it did not resolve the issue I was having.  It can't be much higher than that even if it isn't 6v.

It's on a DLP projector that starts the startup cycle but then goes to "warning" state and stays there.  There was an obviously bad cap so it was just a shot in the dark that it might get it going.

I'm almost positive that the cap is a Panasonic and the 6 designates a 6.3V cap while the S is the actual series of caps.

I just bought a similar capacitor
This one has 25V, 820uF, 20% Tol.

On the capacitor it is printed
J1
820E
CM

May be only the capacitance can be read directly, the rest has to be found in a Datasheet

Many companies remove the decimal place for 6.3V SMD caps (Nichicon says so on its SMD cap datasheets). Its definitely 6 volt 220 uf.
