Twist Lock Style Solder Tabs
#4

No, not the wafer. I’m referring to the metal tabs on the capacitor itself which provide an electrical connection as well as holding the capacitor in place.

I’ve seen some capacitors with these tabs passing through slots on a phenolic wafer, and other times I’ve seen them pass through slots on the chassis itself. Here’s a photo of the chassis which this particular capacitor came from.

If using solder-tine type, use flat, not round. This will make harder for it to spin in the solder hole.morzh — 09:41 PM
