Does anyone know what you might call those solder tabs on vintage electrolytic capacitors? The kind of tabs that fit through slots on a chassis, and then you would twist them to structurally lock the capacitor in place while also electrically connecting to the chassis ground? I do not know what to search for in order to buy any connectors like this.
