Capacitor purchasing inquiry
Posted by: Gary119 on 2020-09-10 08:55:22
Does anyone know where I can buy capacitors with a lead donated of 0.65mm? I bought some on Mouser but the lead diameter is 0.80 and they WILL NOT fit into the through holes. Any help is most definitely appreciated, I don’t know where to go from here.

Maybe find leads on spare resistors or other capacitors in your box of goodies that will fit. Cut the 0.80 leads short and solder the spare leads and install.
