In Reply to: Are tantalum capacitors polar? posted by Lew on December 30, 2006 at 11:49:49:
HowdyMore than one engineer I've worked with refused to use them just because in the rare case that they were inserted backwards they fail so spectacularly. It's been years but even to a software weenie like me the indications of polarity were obvious after they were pointed out.
