Hello: I would like to know if a radial capacitor (1000uf, 25V)should be placed flash to the board? Thanks, Bob

With proper lead forming, a radial capacitor (1000uf, 25V) can be placed flush to the board. If you place it as you describe, does your product application environment require staking?

Thanks for sharing your work experience. I found a reference material with IPC standard (IPC 610) that specifies an exact heigth that a capacitor needs to be placed, I will check this standard specifications in more depth.

Davef, Thanks for the reply. I do not know if a radial capacitor needs to be secured with adhesive. The board in question is a class 2 device where high reliability needs to be achieved. I can not find any book references where adhesive application i

One thing I have run into when placing cap's flush to the board is blow holes due to the plastic sheathing used around the cap. It would form a gasket going through wave and exhaust out of the holes therefore blowing the solder out with it. This cap
