Soldering electronic components like electrolytic capacitors can be some of the most difficult terms in PCB repair. Electrolytic capacitors, like other components, come in two main formats. 1. Through-hole capacitors have long leads designed to pass

Section 9 of J-STD-001 gives you what you need. Further: * Flattened [coined] lead: http://workmanship.nasa.gov/lib/insp/2%20books/links/sections/files/711.pdf * Flat lug lead: Look for the Package Designator �LT� on page 7 of http://www.allegromicr

What is the spec or true classification for the leads for an Electrolytic capacitor? Is it a : 1)Flattened coined lead??? or 2)Flat Lug Lead??? There is some confusion as to how we should be inspecting & accepting the toe overhang on these per IP

Wow, rocket science with Nasa specs! I like it. I don't see the trick question here, so I'll continue.... IPC simply states over hang of round or flattened (coined) leads is acceptable (class 1, 2, & 3) if it "does not violate minimum electrical c

I am also not sure if the Electrolytic capacitor has a "flat lug leads". I think it is more like a coined lead. I hope other experts can advice.

Hello, I have recived from customer PCB where he found that big SMD electrolytic capacitor just fell off. I checked this boards (FR4 , Au/Ni coating). I noticed that all solder remained on the termination of capacitors and looks ok but on the boar
