Reading Tantalum Caps

[MikeH]

I just recieved some tantalums in the mail, and I think they might be the wrong value.  They just say "22" with two vertical dashes and then "16" with a "+" sign next to it.  I'm pretty sure the dashes and "+" show the positive side, and the rest means it's a 22uf, 16V cap.  Is that right?  They're supposed to be 0.22uf.  I just want to know before I email small bear.

This for a tubescreamer? My ones say .22 (with the dot explicitly there) / 35 , with the +++ on the positive side. Might need a magnifying glass to see it

Yeah, for a TS.  There's definately no dot.  I think they're the wrong ones.

How many do you need? I have a few if you need some quick. If the ones you have are really small, they are probably correct.... mine also don't have the decimal, but they were pulled directly from Tube Screamers so I know the value is correct.
