I am replacing some aluminum electrolytic capacitors, filter caps to be exact, and they are the solder-down type.
They measure 82mm tall, 41mm diameter and the lead spacing is 25mm.
I cant find an exact match in lead spacing which means I will have to bend the leads to get them into the board to solder them down and the body of the cap will basically be "floating" and I don't really like the idea of all that weight of the floating cap pushing and pulling on the leads. If would be great if the body of the cap was up against the board and glued down to keep from stressing the leads and solder pads.
Hmmm, what to do.
