C2 and C5 capacitor, ceramic or tantalum? #4

Open libxmike opened 6 years ago

libxmike commented 6 years ago

on the diagram there is "+" which means it is tantalum (or elko capacitor) but on the PCB there is an ceramic capacitor, what is correct? ceramic or tantalum?

I would guess that its a normal ceramic capacitor, as there are only very few 10µF (+25V 1206) tantalum caps on Digikey available. It also doesn't seem to be necessary from a capacity or ESR standpoint to put tantalum caps here. But i'm a little bit confused since there seems to be an error in the PCB reagarding the connection of C5. I opened a separate issue about this #5.

yes, it is 1206 ceramic.

ok1hra commented 6 years ago

yes, all is ceramic

Well I'm about to build one with some tantalum caps so I guess it will blow up if it really matters.
