Mounting
Through hole
The capacitors consist of a ceramic disc both sides of which
are silver-plated. Connection leads are made of tinned
copper having a diameter of 0.6 mm or 0.8 mm.
The capacitors are supplied with kinked leads and lead
spacings of 5 mm or 7.5 mm and 10 mm. Encapsulation is
made of epoxy-resin, flammable resistant in accordance with
“UL 94 V-0”
