RE: Importance of the "polarity" of a film capacitor

I've only got four of these 10uF/100V polystyrenes, and I need exactly four. They seem to be No Longer Available anywhere that I have looked. (Not merely this exact product but 10uF polystyrenes rated at >50V in general. I bought them 4-5 years ago.) So, cutting one open is not an option. Like Steve says, I too have found inconsistency in using the direction of the label as a guide.

However, thanks very much for your analysis of when it might be critical to orient the outer foil and when not.
