Ewaste - Tantalum Deep Dive 

Another great video! Love the explanations!

Thanks Shark! Always helping going deep into explanation for us!

Nice to see you enjoying that fine weather before it rains again. Great info my friend

Great Stripping Down and Fantastic Information - we love it !!!! Keep Safe and many Greeting from us here in Australia !!!!

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing your processes. Take care. 👍👍

Great video , thanks for the help.

Very informative and helpful. Thank you Shark!!! Saved for future reference.

great informative video great stuff

Very interesting and informative ............... Thumbs Up

Really informative, thanks Shark.

Great information 👍

Thank you for the clear explanation! :D

Man thank you shark .. that was awesome .. if I would of had you as a teacher in school I would of been a rocket Scientist .. I can’t thank you enough for your videos and your help .. 👊🏻👊🏻

You really made that interesting, thanks!

Really helpful. Thanks a lot!

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Take care, Poo

Informative

love it

Just subscribed very useful info thanks, came over from Coonts.

Theres a company right down in FL that specialize in tantalum. nice Shark!!!

999 Dusan made a video showing a significant amount of silver recovered from Ta capacitors too. Probably more than the value of Ta. Interesting.

4 :36 it is diode and should be code d 8:28 is also diode 8:30 High Voltage Ceramic Capacitors can contain silver rest fits to my version so all cool good job on vid 😀👍😀

Could you do a video of all of your circuitry you have separated and explain what metals are contained with in them for separation

I think your videos are going to be a big resource for me. Presently the I’m looking at the boards I have like a dog that’s being shown a card trick. Very confused!

The black thing with the band is an ovp ESD surpresdor diode. A lot if the yellow ones by card slots have been higher value mlccs rather than tantalum but have seen both types. If its polarized they are tantalum. The orange box ones are 100% tantalum slug caps. They also suck ime, tend to short out and burn out if the board sits idle too long. Niobium caps are a lot better ime.

Attack of the Tanalums ! Sounds like a sci-fi movie from the 50's.

Thumbs Up

I have a funny reference for you chuckle head.😆 Very very informative 👍

interesting but from a scrap point of view is it worthwhile depopulating these from the boards *you got our like👍Au👍and a full view too*

tantalum is the root of wars in the congo DRC my country, Rwanda doesn't even have one Coltan mine or anything of the sort, they export tantalum and wood from the DRC but claim to be the country of origin...thanks for the info man

👍

Niobium and Tantalum are in the same column on the periodical table and I’m sure they have similar properties and maybe value as both being rare earth metals.

camera lenses apparently has tantalum in them

Tantalum its the most rare ,stable element in the universe( or at least the Solar Sistem).

4:20. Nope. That round thing you are pointing at is not a Capacitor. It is a DIODE. CR or D indicates it's a Diode. I've been in the electronics field since I could hold a screwdriver and I can tell you what that was even before looking at the board. At 8:11 you're showing a small tub of other capacitors, Not all of those components are capacitors. The "Ball Shaped" component you are showing is also a Diode. CR on a board stands for "Current Rectifier". The Black line on the Diode indicates the cathode or negative side of the Diode. Also there are some square diodes look exactly like the black Tantalum capacitors. Knowledge is Power. More Power to ya!
