Capacitor identification, or at least I think it is one. Looks like C1u0 and 9642. Hope you can read it and help me. Thanks.

Re: Cap id
It's an SMD tantalum capacitor. 1uF.
Not sure of the voltage. Nothing in 9642 jumps out at me as a standard voltage. Probably you need the datasheet to find the voltage codes.
Or just guess based on whatever voltage the circuit runs on.
Beware that tantalums mark their POSITIVE side with the stripe."Tantalum for the brave, Solid Aluminium for the wise, Wet Electrolytic for the adventurous"

Thank you for the help.Comment

Re: Cap id
"9642" might be the date code, in the format YYWW.PeteS in CA
Power Supplies should be boring: No loud noises, no bright flashes, and no bad smells.

Re: Cap id
Oh yes, the date code. That would make sense...
The leading "C" might be the voltage code, then?"Tantalum for the brave, Solid Aluminium for the wise, Wet Electrolytic for the adventurous"

Re: Cap id
"A" logo I think is older AVX. Voltage code C is (for AVX parts) 16V.
You can also estimate from the IC's operating voltage.
Tantalum capacitors need a huge voltage derating like 50% for long life. So a 5V IC would have a 10-16V part for decoupling.Comment

Re: Cap id
Speaking of voltage derating, if you're using X7R ceramic caps and don't want much variation due to the voltage coefficient the rated voltage should be 10X the circuit voltage.PeteS in CA

Re: Cap id
Right or wrong, these are what I ordered as a replacement.
