1.0µF 35V 20% Dipped Tantalum Capacitor

Comments about RadioShack 1.0µF 35V 20% Dipped Tantalum Capacitor:

I had to have a tantalum 1mfd./35v cap!I happened to have this one from some time ago.Helped me get the job done in the middle of the night!I was repairing an "ARP Odyssey synthesizer"!
I'm all happy now! ; )

I'm writing to simply push up the rating of this excellent, completely typical tantalum capacitor. The complaints here, that are pulling down its ratings, are entirely from newbies who aren't bothering to make even the simplest examination of a part before installing it backward. The marking of this part is 100% per industry standards. If you looked for the most precise and expensive tantalum capacitor on the market, you could not find a more explicit marking than is on this part. Don't be afraid to use it. It does it's job well.

i use in a ts-440s and made big diffrence

Yeah I've had a few of these, some are marked, some not, and its been a random shoot with these things.

So far I've had 2 of the 4 units that I've used fail. Even though they are being used at the output of a 5VDC regulator (LM317), they have basically "smoked". That makes me think that the capacitors actually are polarized, but there is NO indication of that on the unit, the unit's package or the RS web-site. "Junk" as far as I'm concerned.

well it is polarized because one side has the black bar with a '+' so that means that side is positive. not that hard to understand.

This Capacitor provided me with consistent performance on my 555 timing circuit. Yes the capacitor is polarized and yes IT DOES SHOW WHICH SIDE IS POSITIVE. for those who are blind its the longer lead :P. (The lettering is quite small and can be hard for some people to see it but it is there.)

Perhaps it is time for you all to get glasses.
It is marked;
1 as in 1 microfarad
35 as in 35 wvdc
and a "+" on the side of the long lead.
It is 20% tolerance, but most electrilytics are.
Using them in TLC555 timers and they work great.

Don't worry about the polarity of this one, it's a non-polarized tantalum capacitor. It works either way.

Comments about RadioShack 1.0µF 35V 20% Dipped Tantalum Capacitor:

Most tantalum capacitors are polarized. This capacitor and it's packing has no indication of polarization. One lead being longer than the other may or may not be a hint in this instance. Without clear polarization marking it could be installed wrong and possibly damage equipment or the capacitor itself.
