    As long as we are ID'ing things, here are my little weirdos. The little red one seems to be obvious (magnetic, plus signs, 16v markings) but the others are less clear.

    The yellow one has a "+" but is non-magnetic. Markings: WHITD/20VDC/HK7319

    The sky blue one has several plus signs on the magnetic lead end but does pinch in the pliers. Markings: RICHEY/15V/52-7335

    The dark blue one is hard to read but there are plus signs. Markings: 63V/016

    The big silver one has a few plus signs and no magnetic end. Markings: M235/20v/7331A



    The little silver one at the top may not even be a cap. It's the smallest of these things from this particular teardown. However, the others are as big as the dark blue cap shown so it seemed unlikely that it was a diode. Markings: 2,8n H

    I apologize if this is not interesting to anyone on this thread. I had thought, at first, to just PM this to the buyer. But since so many posts seem to indicate ongoing uncertainty about what is or isn't tantalum, I decided to just put it out there for everyone's reference.

    only the below burgandy capacitor is an epoxy tantalum capacitor!

    That's good to know, as I have lots of those caps. But I'm still at a loss as to how to identify the right ones. I thought for sure the light blue with the "+" signs and a magnetic end were Ta.

    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
