I've been doing a lot of research lately and this tantalum capacitor stuff seems the most in-depth as far as identifying them. Last question for now is on the black smd type. Do they too have to have the actual positive + sign or is rhe stripe an identifier as well? Also, the boards are always marked with a "C###" ? Thanks again!
For the Black SMD -- The stripe is an identifier as well, Sometimes the positive sign is taken off completely from years of use.
As for the Bullet Capacitors - Honestly these types of capacitors are some of the hardest to differentiate, there are also not many of these types produced yearly.
