Disagree with Ta Caps being magnetic? I'm confused. Not arguing I just want to know. There's no K, no +, no stripe(possible the dotmatrix on one of the legs IS), cathode/anode on same side of body. Can a MLCC be magnetic, I guess I haven't come across any that are yet (not enough for a hard drive
magnet to actually pick one up at least). You may be thinking of MULTI LAYERED CERAMIC CAPACITORS I am referring to the Monolithic SMD Ceramic Capacitor which I guess I shouldn't be calling it a MLCC. I will call these MCCs from here on to avoid confusion.
Whatever it turns out to be, it is a 10uF 16V capacitor. Unlike ETack while I'm well versed in electronics I am not well versed in surface mount components being Ta or not that look like this. My test thus far has been to pull anything like this and testing with a magnet because at 10uF the component is either Monolithic or Ta, one of which will be attracted to the magnet.
To ETack, can you give examples of magnetic MCCs? I need to go back and sort if that's the case.
