Kingslayer ll clarification needed

In the shopping list one of the 1uF caps is a Tant. But there is no indication as to where that might go.. Looks like four box caps and an Electro in C10?


Thanks...

Hey Bleary. I don't see any electrolytic 1uf cap on the materials list so the 1uf polar cap must be tantalum. C10. Steve.

That's right, the one in the corner. I wasn't paying a whole lotta attention to the cap description and based solely on the silkscreen I soldered in an electrolytic. Soldered everything else and was left with a tant on my bench. It took a good five minutes till I figured out what the heck happened there!

Yea I got there too. The Electro I have in C10 isn't on the list. Thank you guys for verifying what I suspected.

Anyone have one they can send me?

I bought two preparing for that build so I do have one left.
I didn't prepare very well and missed a cap  (Mike's got that covered and the cap is in the mail) so my build isn't verified working yet.

If it doesn't fire up, I'm just gonna hope it's not the tant that's fried. In other words, you can have the cap.  Just PM me your address and I'll post it out tomorrow morning on my way to work.

Tantalum pentoxide

Wet tantalum electrolytic capacitors (wet slug)[43] Lowest leakage among electrolytics. Voltage up to 630 V (tantalum film) or 125 V (tantalum sinter body). Hermetically sealed. Stable and reliable. Military and space applications.   

Polarized. Violent explosion when voltage, ripple current or slew rates are exceeded, or under reverse voltage. Expensive.
