Identify a component
Dexter:
Guys, can anybody identify what this is for me, I managed to blow one but don't know what to order to replace it!

100UF Tantalum Capacitor
MonMotha:
That is a tantalum capacitor. Value is 10x10^7pF = 100uF. The 'D' is probably a voltage rating code, but those can vary by manufacturer. If you know where it's at in the circuit, you can probably infer a voltage rating (go higher if in doubt). Depending on where it is and what it's used for, you may need to specify a "low ESR" or "surge robust" type.
I can't tell the case size from the picture. It's a reasonably large one. Just measure it to match. Remember that tantalums are polarized, so make sure you install the replacement properly.
protokatie:
Does anyone have a good guide to reading circuit boards? I know the basics (C is cap, D is Diode, etc), but a link to a comprehensive guide might be good for the forum as a whole.
Dexter:
Brilliant guys thanks.
What do you reckon the chances are of the chips on the board still being in good working order after it blowing??
