I'm attaching a photo of what I believe to be a tantalum capacitor with color-code markings. If I am interpreting this correctly, the multiplier dot has ended up on top of the capacitor instead of the side. That would make it brown, green, x grey, blue for 15x.01 uF 20 V= 150nF 20 V, with the blue stripe on the positive side? Is that correct? The reason I'm doubting it is that this cap is larger than the 10 uF tantalums in the same device, which have printed values on them. Also, is that a black band on the bottom near the leads? I would attempt measuring it, but that meter is down at the moment. Any help appreciated. PJ |

silver - brown, black and green (blue not part of color code?) silver 10% 10 + 00000 = 1000000nF = 100uF or 10 + 00000 = 1000000pF = 1uF ? |

The 100uF looks plausible but I doubt the 100V combination. The first image in andy3055's link (1uF 16V) seems to imply that green is 16V, which seems more believable. (missed your edit) |
