tantalum capacitor polarity
Hello again, fellows.
I have a little doubt here.
I have this tantalum capacitor:
As you can see, at right hand of the numbers there's a LINE. But, above this line, there's a sign that looks like a "+" (plus) sign.
So, I'm not sure if that's the Positive or Negative Pole.
Because I'm used to electrolytic capacitors that as you know, where's a line, then that's the negative pole. So I thought first that it was negative pole, but then I saw this kind of "+" sign.
Had some of you worked with tantalum capacitors ??? What's the right thing to do, connect the right "leg" (according to the picture) to positive or negative ??
Thanks in advance for the help.
