Cleaning up after bad tantalum
« on: May 14, 2017, 03:36:05 pm »
A tantalum went bad in a HV supply and seems to have left some corrosion. Would anyone know what that could be?

I've tested everything else and it all seems good

What kind of tantalum?  We tantalums use sulfuric acid which is an obvious problem that needs to be neutralized.  Solid tantalums just leave a dry inert residue which can be cleaned with anything which will remove it.
