A means and a method for converting finished electrical components with terminal leads to elements having planar terminations.

摘要

Finished electrical components having wire lead terminals are converted to elements having planar terminations by placing end caps or shoes over the ends of an existing component. A finished film capacitor having radial wire leads that is presently on a distributor's shelf, ready for shipment, may be converted to a capacitor for solder reforming by the use of these conversion caps. The capacitor may then be secured in a planer fashion to a substrate.
