Does anyone have a guide as to what the different types of tantalum caps look like. Or which of the components contain PMs (tantalum or pd or Pt) are worth keeping off of circuit boards.
 
i have been looking for info on tantalum capacitors...the only info i have been able to find is just descriptive of the metal itself,so,im afraid im looking for the same info myself...ive found a few small capacitors that contain a metal core similar in appearance to tantalum,but i am not positive as to what it is.
 
Just search for tantalum on Ebay. You will
see the different types of capacitors.
That works with alot of stuff you are curious
about, and a back search helps you see what
they sell for.
 
Note also that some capacitors labelled as tantalum capacitors contain no tantalum. Tantalum capcitor has almost become like a barnd name for a certain type of capacitor package.
