I have seen a situation where a customer spec'd the cap value / voltage and
height dimensions. The vendor took the innards of a physically much smaller
capacitor and put it in the a larger can in order to meet the height
dimensions spec'd by the customer, who ended up with a large, but half
filled can.
In this case the vendor forgot to put the other two caps in this can. (Could
not read the voltage on the outer can.)

Weird,
Ahne.

Hi All!

I was sent an image of a rather unusual capacitor from a Technetter, Larry
Russell, who is over in Taiwan. Take a look at "Capacitor" on my page at:

I hope I don't ever see one of these!
