In Reply to: RE: Polarity of "mylar" capacitor? posted by coffee-phil on July 31, 2020 at 09:56:52:
It just occurred to me, after posting. It's actually very easy to see which lead connects to the outer foil on these capacitors, and the red line is on the end that seems to go to the inner foil. But at least there is some rationale. Sorry for wasting space here. I just wanted to be absolutely sure the caps were nonpolar, even though said to be "mylar", and even though the caps pass my Sencore testing in both directions, up to 600V (the upper limit of the leakage test via the Sencore). In use, they'll be subjected to +/-3000V.
