Tantalum caps.
Over the last few years I've acquired quite a few consumer electronincs pcbs
including TVs, VCRs, stereos, etc, so when I discovered that I needed a tantalum to repair some test equipment I was going to salvage a tantalum. I couldn't find one anywhere, so I assume they're too expensive or too unrelaible for high end consumer electronics. A couple of the boards were from my personal stuff purchased new. One example is a MGA Mitsubishi rear projection TV that operated flawlessly for nearly 20 years of daily use. Most of my test equipment comes from hamfests and is surplus after becoming obsolete and non-operative in less than 20 years. That leads me to wonder what the real story is behind tantalum capacitors. What do the experts have to say? tnx hank wd5jfr |
