Also most of Tantalum Caps are iron-magnetic material made, for sure is not this case but always wen we met problems like James met, we had always sot-23, light capacitors 0603 as you know some of them have Nikel barriel (also magnectic sensitive) an

We are also having some issues with certain small parts. In our case this is tantalum caps and 0402 caps. We had a vendor admit after much discussion that the plating used from a particular orgin was different on the tantalums. The tehory is thatthsi

If you are just wanting to test the values of the electrolytics or tantalums, it's not a problem with an ICT, as long as your system has an analog instrument to do it. If you are wanting to test the polarity of the cap, you will need a capacitive co

Hi ENIAC That table is part of a mush bigger article I was putting together, and will post somewhere at this website soon, as a one stop complete information. The hold up was Electrolytics and Tantalums code is different but there is no way to t

Hello experts, We have hard time with a tantalum capacitor challenging our 12mm feeder. Pocket seems to small for the part and parts are getting stuck and cannot be picked. In my opinion this part should use 16mm on 12mm pitch rather than 12mm tape

Hi all, Do any one knows a usefull web site that could help me to identify diffrent types of capicitors ( Tantalum, cermic, multilayer.....) Many thanks in advance. Msaad

Shadowing sounds about right to me also. Really dicey experiment to run if you are dropping expensive tantalums just to save a little coin in epoxy and processing time.

Tantalum caps degrade over time. You should not be seeing "chipped-off & cracks" regardless of the age. This should not be a shelf-life issue, unless you are storing them in an aquarium. Tell us the story. Solderability is a shelf-life issue and

Sounds like they may be hitting some kind of submerged obstruction in the wave, maybe? Is it only MELFs that are affected, or any other similar sized components, such as Tantalum caps?
