Now: Molded Mica Caps

But to get back to the purpose of this newsgroup: Are capacity losses,

common failure?

I hesitate to say "common" but yes.

Often that failure is caused by the op twisting the cap over while in
place to see whats written on the other side. In American-made molded
micas this often causes the lead to break free from the molding and the
twisting action breaks away a few of the foil connections. Or worse,
twists them into a shorted condition.

No, David is right. Current misconceptions about usenet aren't
something one should let pass by while looking the other way. 20 years
ago AOLers were in desperate need of education, only to be superceded by
google-groupies.


In this case, Yahoo yahoos.
