    Are these ta caps?

    Or are they even caps with saving?

    They are not Ta caps, however they are MLCCs. Confirm this by depoping one of them and testing it with a hard drive magnet, if the magnet picks it up, I was wrong it's Ta, if not it's an MLCC.

    I will disagree with everything you said here.

    MLCC caps can be magnetic they also have solder points on the sides like the smaller ones in the pic.

    SMD Ta caps will MOST of the time be one of two colors yellow and black. I have had the blue, orange, and red pink. (wish I had saved those )

    I would be interested in knowing what the inside looks like. take one and tap it with a hammer gently till the epoxy falls off and you can see the pellet if it looks like this pic its a Ta cap.

    Disagree with Ta Caps being magnetic? I'm confused. Not arguing I just want to know. There's no K, no +, no stripe(possible the dotmatrix on one of the legs IS), cathode/anode on same side of body. Can a MLCC be magnetic, I guess I haven't come across any that are yet (not enough for a hard drive magnet to actually pick one up at least). You may be thinking of MULTI LAYERED CERAMIC CAPACITORS I am referring to the Monolithic SMD Ceramic Capacitor which I guess I shouldn't be calling it a MLCC. I will call these MCCs from here on to avoid confusion.

    Whatever it turns out to be, it is a 10uF 16V capacitor. Unlike ETack while I'm well versed in electronics I am not well versed in surface mount components being Ta or not that look like this. My test thus far has been to pull anything like this and testing with a magnet because at 10uF the component is either Monolithic or Ta, one of which will be attracted to the magnet.

    To ETack, can you give examples of magnetic MCCs? I need to go back and sort if that's the case.
