I had taken apart a 1974 Western Electric telecom server last year and I totally missed all of the caps...I threw in about 10 lbs of what looks like it could have been Ag/Ta caps into my steel pile....;(Quote:

Thank you for the pictures! So...any caps that look like these you want? Does that include new age caps or just older ones? Are there any look alikes you don't want?
We do not mind new or old -- If the capacitors look exactly like that then yes ---- The capacitors need to be of Tantalum Origin.Quote:

....aaaaaaaand she's flinging out the circle ones.
What kind of electronics do those "Tantapak" (above picture) usually come in? I don't believe I've ever them before. Rare?
Tantapak Capacitors usually come in extremely high grade materials such as Military and Oil & Gas Electronics systems.
Tantalum CCC Capacitors
Any updated regarding MLCC’s and whether your company is purchasing them yet? (price guide)
Thanks!

This thread is amazing, my mind is blown with all of this info....<*mind blown*>
Quick question, may be on this thread and I've missed it,makos looked online most of the night and today, from what I can read, and see,the only way you know if it's "tant" is if you see a "k" with. "|" next to it correct? Or your a vet at this and you just know, is there anything else that makes themselves know? Any features on the small stuff, lettering, codes, numbers etc?
Again apologies if I've missed it, or maybe I need to be redirected to another site, thread.
Thanks for you continued patience.
P.s. would you accept international shipments (that's if I ever get enough) ?
The capacitor can say many different things - but, majority indicates a Postive + Sign.Quote:

Sent my very first shipment to this company but unfortunately things are not going too well. Giving it a few more days to see if they can find the package that P.O. shows was delivered to them on Jan 2nd. Wasn't a large amount of product thank goodness, but frustrating nonetheless. Will update post in a few days.
Ok, so I have been silently reading post and been trying to work on these to make more cash than what I have been. I am gonna sort out everything that I know is what you are looking for. I have these really tiny capacitors and trying to get a good clear pic is not going well on my phone. These are about as wide as pencil lead and have close to the same color as pencil lead. Are these also the type you are looking for? I have been pulling them off and putting then in a container, but wanna make sure before I get to many and they not be correct,
Thanks
Tim

If you would like please call me directly 800-805-9150 - I am available today as well.

Please confirm that you have received funds requested.
UPDATE - Evidently small package is MIA in Florida, with the holidays and snail mail it is entirely possible! Company went ahead and paid me for lost product as a customer courtesy. Payment was prompt once issue was brought to their attention. I would not hesitate sending them another package as I believe this was not their fault.Quote:

Sorry if my earlier post frustrated you but it was my understanding we should leave feedback for buyers, which is what I did. I also updated my post with final outcome. And yes we emailed one another for 2 days, that was never an issue to my knowledge. It's done and over, it's all good.Quote:

Telecom, Hard Drives, Medical, Military, Oil & Gas, Aerospace more complicated heavy duty electronics is where you will find the highest amounts of Tantalum Capacitors on the boards.
Actually I'm incredibly impressed that they paid you without receiving the product. As you said before in this thread, you believe it is not TantalumRecycling's fault the package was lost. Many companies would ask you to sort it out with USPS or ask that you file an insurance claim for lost product. MOST companies would not pay for material they did not receive.Quote:

i found some smd tanti's on an old style h-p computer scanner
Most of what I scrap is telecom equipment and I see the epoxy and smd caps all the time. I just went out in the garage and this card was at the top of the pile.
