Product List
Ceramic capacitors do not have polarity requirements; therefore, during assembly, they can be mounted in any direction. Tantalum capacitors have polarity (+/-) and require caution during assembly. If a tantalum capacitor is mounted reversed, it can lead to capacitor failure. Ceramic capacitors are breakable and tend to have cracks which result in open function; whereas if tantalum capacitors fail, they tend to fail short due to polarity sensitivity and large inrush current.
