Capacitor identification..??

Guest
I have a capacitor which looks like a yellow plastic axial but is
tapered on the +positive side and says AVX +9323 I think what follows
is 20uf(not sure) +20V but if someone can identify what type of
capacitor this is? I emailed AVX, like 6yrs ago and still haven't
heard from them. I know these are not available anymore they were used
around '92 -'93, but if I can find a suitable replacement, that would
suit me just fine.

thanks

Could be Tantalum TAR series.

Yes, thats exactly what it is. So, then the + 9323 must be the
production date?
or is that an actual model number, I'd like to find the specs for it.
I'm not sure if its 20uf the print is small it could also be 20uk what
value would that be?

thanks for your help

I'm replying to my own reply, I figured it out, 20u means 20uf and
the K means with 10% tolerance
Vishay and Kemet also carry them

So why were you asking if you already knew ?

Week 23 of 1993.

K is a tolerance letter. It means +/- 10%. The value is 20uF and the voltage
rating 20V.

I knew someone would ask that. He was told what they were, went checking,
found that what he was told was right, and said so. He didn't know before.

Exactly right. I did not know before, I googled and found the answers
after you told me
then came back and posted my findings

thanks again
