Because they're generally inferior. In any case, if you want to take a chance with the tantalum caps, getting the polarity correct is essential. As others have said, the PCB should have markings indicating the positive side and the parts should be populated correctly wrt those markings. Replacing the tantalum parts with ceramic X7R or X5R parts will avoid both issues. | |
