My DOG just swallowed a 470uF electrolytic cap (SMD type)

<< < (8/15) > >>

golden_labels:
Soon on the component manufacturer’s website:

DESIGNED TO SURVIVE THE HARSHEST ENVIRONMENTS YOUR DESIGN MAY ENCOUNTER!
WITHIN 5% OF THE NOMINAL VALUE AFTER 2 DAYS IN DOG’S DIGESTIVE SYSTEM!*
* Tested by an independent institution, sample size 1. Tolerance rounded to the nearest integer percent.

Bud:
So you can't use that  " I did not install the 470 uF capacitor because my dog ate it" excuse.

Brumby:
.... and I can just see the first product reviews:

* Truly crap products.
* Beware when the magic smoke escapes - you'll want to find a dodgy Rifa to clear the nostrils.
* All the dogs in the neighbourhood want to sniff the projects I use these in.
* Someone left a bag of these on my doorstep and lit it.

Dunno about the dog, he took off in the woods as soon as I opened the garage door so I'm guessing he'll live
Grounded him in the garage until he rear out my stuff. That'll teach him, thief...

And so, Datasheets can be amended with "Caps do survive digestion and other shitty abuses".

Wasn't. I always short those things before placing them back into the tray they sit.
Had it clamped between a pair of tweezers and getting ready to solder two pins to use in a breadboard.
As soon as I've placed the tweezers in the alligator clip it flew hypersonic speed and landed right in front of my boy's face.

Enjoyed the jokes guys, some pretty damn good ones haha  :-+ :-+

I'm wondering what the dog was thinking when the owner set upon every steamer with utensils.
