Default What caps is this?

Nice photo.

Thank you Canon! (A620, handheld.)

Dimensions would have been helpful.


7 mm H, 4 mm W & D.

My guess(tm) is Tantalum. It's not ceramic as it appears to be
polarized. It's not metalized film, for the same reason. It's too
small for electrolytic. That leaves tantalum.


Being molded plastic, does this automatically rule out electrolytic?

Siemens sold their cazapitor division to EPCOS:

and look for "Tantalum Molded Radial" on Page 7.


Resemblance? Color?

The originals are black and beveled at the front corners. None of these are.
Other than physical, not much to go on...

Thanks.
