Title: Cave dweller parts question
Post by: djaaz on April 06, 2012, 09:56:13 PM
Can't find a small 1u cap for C10 at a reasonable price as it is the single component i miss.
Can i use a tantalum instead?
And if it's the case how should i orient the polarity? Reading the schematic i would guess :

+ pole connected to the PT2399, meaning left negative, right positive when looking at the pcb.

Brian?

You sure can.  Negative towards the output.

By the way, i finished your sea urchin board and tested it on my testing rig 10 minutes ago. Works great. Thanks!

Tayda has nice, small 1uf non-polarized caps at a reasonable price:
