I have to replace a small capacitor that had a lead ripped out when
the tv was dropped and the pcb broken.
It's a cylinder about a half inch high, a quarter inch in diameter,
with two leads at the bottom, and a narrowing near the bottom, like a
waist line, but it gets back to full diameter at the bottom.
It's black and says on it:

TL [in an elongated circle]
50v4.7uF --
CD71
40/085/10
N --
There is lead coming out next to the N and next to the 4.7uF.
Does the N mean that that is the negative lead?
If not, does that mean the capacitor is non-polarized?
BTW, what happens if I use a polarized cap where a non-polarized was
intended, or vice versa? Will a reverse voltage puncture the
dielectric? Even if it is less than 50 volts, like the rating here?
Thanks.
If you are inclined to email me
for some reason, remove NOPSAM
