Tantalum capacitors are polarized devices, so correct polarity must be maintained on the PCB. Both types exhibit good long-term reliability without significant “wear-out” mechanisms, and both are ...

Did Apple really fit a capacitor backward on the Mac LC III? A multimeter-wielding retro fan has confirmed that, yes – somebody made a mistake decades ago, and a capacitor ended up installed the ...

The AVX tantalum product line for high reliability applications consists of TAZ, TBJ and CWR series. AVX also offers an extensive range of “COTS Plus” enhanced reliability tantalum capacitors.

What does tantalum capacitor actually mean? Find out inside PCMag's comprehensive tech and computer-related encyclopedia.

But we digress. Unfortunately, integrated circuits aren’t the only parts that can be profitably faked, as [Amateur Hardware Repair] shows us with this look at questionable tantalum capacitors.

The subject of capacitors seems quite attractive from the standpoint of having low values of equivalent series resistance (low ESR) but there might be an issue with their lifetime at certain ...

Observe the polarity of the electrolytic capacitors as you replace them. *** Now, if you don’t have an electrolytic capacitor checker, WETA (TV)’s Bill Seabrook recommends the EDS-88A CapAnalyzer This ...
