Can anyone help me identify which side of a SMT cap is negative. More specifically, I have part # 495-2238-1-ND from Digikey and it has a brown line on it. Is that the negative or positive side. Thanks in advance for the help!

I found THIS (http://www.epcos.com/web/generator/Web/Sections/ProductCatalog/Capacitors/TantalumElectrolyticCapacitors/PDF/PDF__General,property=Data__en.pdf;/General_technical_information.pdf) link in the datasheet from digikey.

Thanks for the reply. I must have overlooked this because I went to the datasheet for that cap and I didn't see it.

Thanks,

Chris
