Goodbye Cruel World! =(
dextercf:
Any chance you can decrypt for me what values the capicitor has?
BobA:
This is only a guess compared to the other tant caps 35 or 50 v on the board. Voltage 50V (always use the higher to be safe) 22uF.
dextercf:
Yeah, voltage I'm not too conserned about. It's the uF value that gives my brain something to work with.
Is it correct if I assume using too low rate would be better, as It would fry easier. This would be better than allowing higher temperatures than supposed too?
I'm thinking; something along the line of the funktion with fuses..?
BobA:
Breakdown of tantalum caps is a complex situation more related to surges in voltage than overall heat. There are lots of articles on the explosive effects when the sponge inside breaks down.
dextercf:
So, until I have time to dive into that theories more indepth.
Is my thoughts reasonable? Is it safe, regarding the rest of the board?
What could be the worst outcome of using the wrong value component?
