Hello I have a tantalum capacitor (not SMD) without any strip, etc. There are only indications of capacity and voltage. Which leg is a plus (shorter or longer)? greetings Phantom

I would take a picture and put it in the post.

Hello Plus is usually on a longer leg or where there is a line (tantalum capacitors). Sometimes there are also +/- markings next to the pins. greetings edit: A photo would make sense, because it may not be tantalum, only polyester or ceramics.

It looks like these: Only different voltage and capacity. Phantom

You can clearly see the plus size around 35, this foot is a plus edit: the plus leg is also longer in the picture

Thanks a lot. I thought it was just a voltage indication (yes I above capacity). greetings Phantom

Hello

I have a tantalum capacitor (not SMD) without any strip, etc. There are only indications of capacity and voltage.
Which leg is a plus (shorter or longer)?
