Tantalum Capacitor Scrap Purchasing -- International

Long time lurker but this is my first post.

How do you tell if the ceramic caps are tantalum? They all look the same lol

Open one up and if you see an almost black brick inside you know its tantalum. Capacitors shape may vary but inside its always dark gray, almost black.

Edit, I don't think you will find a ceramic tantalum capacitors. Tantalum capacitors are normally coated with different type of plastics which I don't recall the various types or in case of silver-tantalum the out side material I believe it to be aluminum.

Plz help to sort out tantalum caps

If you can crush them easily like the ones on the left they probably are not tantilum capacitors. The others look like tantilum capacitors.

The lower two in middle column look like polystyrene capacitors.

What you guyz say about top crushed one in first column , that is with brass cover and my wire cutter not to cut it in two parts. Is it tantalum cap

We have years of experience identifying the different types of capacitors - If you send us a picture of what you believe may or may not be Tantalum - We would be able to tell just by looking at the picture.

There is no Aluminum / Tantalum Capacitors -- There is a Brass Cased / Tantalum Capacitors these are called Hermetic Tantalum Capacitors

All of the capacitors on the right side of the picture are Tantalum Capacitors

Exactly that is correct!

I honestly cannot tell from the picture if the top left corner capacitor is Tantalum

I have tantalum SMD caps without epoxy, incinerated with IC, after recovering gold, i have tantalum with nickel electrode.

Note: these are recovered from strong nitric solution after dissolving copper and other base metals...

Hi all

Does anyone knows the weight of the capacitors from one reel of Tantalum SMD?

Hi all

Does anyone knows the weight of the capacitors from one reel of Tantalum SMD?

The reel weighs .35/Lb

Thank you for your answer, do you have a european partner company? I am asking this because of the high shipping cost from France to US

hi,are all tant caps magnetic? ed.

Not all but most are definitely - They have a magnetic wires and the SMD has a magnetic plate inside of them.
