Notes on mounting
When mounting these capacitors, take into account creepage distances and clearances to
adjacent live parts. The insulating strength of the cut surfaces to other live parts of the circuit is
1.5 times the capacitors rated DC voltage, but is always at least 300 V DC.
Capacitors with 7.5 mm lead spacing are only suitable for use with single-clad printed circuit
boards.
