Can you show some boards with these items on them and circle what you buy and their location on the boards.Quote:

Is there a master list of product codes or something so that we can reference part numbers without having to d-pop boards? If I had known just by reference, that would have sped things up quite a bit. I can often read the caps more easily than I can get them off the boards.
Thanks!
Unfortunately their is no master code for all of the Tantalum Capacitors - If you have questions on identifying Tantalum Capacitors - Please send us pictures to info@tantalumrecycling.com
In your price list you have Hermetic A & B, C & D. Is each of those four letters assigned to a different case size? If so, C & D are the larger sizes? The last photo example at the end of your price list, the red flat SMD capacitors. Do they go in with the more common yellow and black SMD'S?
WIth Hermetic Capacitors - C&D Are Large Hermetics, B is Medium Size and A is small.Quote:

The above product of the metal cased capacitors are Electrolytic Aluminum Capacitors - These are not Tantalum.Quote:

The yellow ones are NOT Tantalum Capacitors
If you break one of those black ones open you will be left with the capacitors shown in the top half photo.Quote:

It would not matter - No.Quote:

While sorting I have found the following and wanted to ask if they are indeed Tantalum:

#2 (I have also included one that was broken into and what is inside for reference) There are no markings on it I would assume because of the "Paint Stripes"

Yes, these are all Tantalum EPOXY Capacitors! These are perfect!Quote:

great find. ive never seen these caps before. ill have to keep an eye out
Thank you TantalumRecycling!
Looking as if I may now begin to have enough (coupled with my SMD's) to possibly warrant a shipment to you!
I appreciate the verification!
Looking forward to your first shipment!Quote:

These look like Aluminum Elecrtolytic CapacitorsQuote:

So the blue backed picture (The Spragues) are NOT Tantalum?
Thanks!
No they are Aluminum - If you take both types of capacitors you can check the material based on the weight of each capacitor.Quote:

Ok so I have sorted out the "non-tantalum"
Is it safe to say this: Casings are "Silver" but a "dull silver" almost a "patina" on the tantalum ones?
The Alum ones are "shiny" and lightweight.
The Tantalum- they seem "heavy or beefy" in weight for their size.
Hopefully that makes sense!
*Sledge Say: Trying to decipher Tantalum.. hardest part of e-waste-- hands down*
Ok.. Last one for now:
Are these Tantalum Packs?

Review:
Just sent my very 1st lot to these folks.
They confirmed receipt, took pictures of all of my scrap ON SCALE showing my weights, told me a total of payout!
Only tricky part for me was that once I got those totals I needed to send them an invoice- but was quickly and easily figured out. Fast Response to my questions regarding what I needed to do for them!
Check arrived quickly!
Glad to do business with them and look forward to the next time!
Current Pricing is:
Epoxy/Ceramic Capacitors - $20.50/Lb
SMD Capacitors -- $20.50/Lb
Hermetic A&B -- $14.50/Lb
Hermetic Capacitors C&D - $16.75/Lb
Wet Tantalum Capacitors - $47.50/Lb
Ag/Ta Capacitors - $75/Lb
Tantapak/Wets Capacitors -- $12/Lb
Tantalum Foil -- $12/Lb
Tantalum Bullets -- $13/Lb
Are these ones (forget their name) with the baby blue and the ones with pink writing on the capacitors tantalums just like the other with the black lettering or are they completely different?https://www.instagram.com/p/Ba1YkkzFsqo/
Also are any of these in any of the pics them? I just want to see if ones I suspected are right and see the ones I missed. I truly appreciate it

thank you for being the subject of the condenser hurdle
It might be because it's 4:30 in the morning or because I'm just that d3nse but I need to ask. What?Quote:

Can anyone look at these and let me know if these are worth scraping off the boards? I’ve just begun studying what I should be looking for. Much appreciated!
I have absolutely no Idea how to sort capacitors so I've been plucking them off of boards and placing them all in an empty gallon water jug all mixed together. is there a price for mixed capacitors? or should I just leave them on the boards for now?
Please send us pictures of what you mean by mixed capacitors?Quote:

If these are not all tantalum then everything I thought I knew was wrong.......LOL
After a bit more research I'm not sure.........Hoping someone would chime in who understands these things
It's a little bit confusing, because the pic you have on your own website, shows the pic of the little black boxes to be recognized by people with interests in collecting and selling Tantalum to you, but the black boxes in the pic have no + sign on them, lol?
My understanding which I could be wrong the solid white line is the + end of it
