Do not tilt or bend the capacitor after soldering.
Ensure that the terminal spacing matches the corresponding hole spacing on the PC
board.

The aluminum case is not insulated from the cathode. Do not place a conductor under the
aluminum capacitors on the PC board as this may cause a short circuit. The case and top of
capacitors used in switched mode power supplies have a high-voltage-resistant heat shrink
sleeve to ensure safe usage.
The leads of capacitors with a case diameter exceeding 14 mm cannot be used for fixing.
