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 ...

He highlighted one repairer who, after installing a tantalum capacitor backward, found it was drawing 1.3 amps - far too much - and the voltage was only -2.3V. "At best, this is going to result in ...

Offering eight case sizes, the ‘A’ case size is the smallest molded military tantalum capacitor with measurements of 2.54 mm × 1.27 mm × 1.27 mm. ... polarity and capacitance marking.

A capacitor made out of the precious metal tantalum. The silver-gray tantalum beads, in the form of compacted powder, can store a lot of charge relative to their mass. This enables smaller ...

Tantalum capacitor have a lower maximum current than their short circuit current, so it is asking for trouble. Electrolytic capacitors do not produce fire, just confetti.

Thus, the question in my mind is whether the anticipated “lifetime” of polymer tantalum capacitors is the result of aging brought about by slow but inexorable absorption of moisture from the ...

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 ...
