Capacitor Supplier | 4 August, 2000

We manufacture a mixed technology board, that uses a through hole "mini cap" with a 2.5 mm lead span. We have had several failures caused by solder wicking up through the plated through hole pcb and touching the can. This shorts out the capacitor. As a short term solution we are having the parts sent to a taping company that adds a bend to the leads to create a standoff. This prevents our radial inserter from inserting the part flush to the board. Does anyone know of a supplier that can provide parts such as this directly? Our current suppliers do not seem to have the capability. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

John

This is not that unusual. Most manufacturers have a number of optional lead configurations available, including a standoff kink. It is sometimes difficult with low quantities or with a lazy distributor. Get a complete spec catalog for the components involved and look for yourself. Call the manufacturer's sales engineering folks. Good luck John Thorup
