Tantalum capacitor code

[mjunaid61]

I have a tantalum SMD capacitor whose code is 106A 25E73
where according to my interpretation 106=10uF , A = 10V
Can any body tell me what does the whole term mean??

What you have is 10 and the 6 denotes 6 zeros so you have 10,000000 pF or 10uF. See link for more details.

I already know this but if A in 106A denotes tolerance than there is nothing given in tolerance box in your link for symbol A
what is meant by 25E73

10uF in 25v is a common size. Maybe the 25 stands for 25v?

You could compare it's physical size to a 10uF 25v cap and that will give a good idea of its voltage rating.

I believe the A stands for tolerance. The other number is lot code I think. For hobbyist stuff, knowing the cap vale should suffice.
