Please take absolute care when cutting or bending pins, that the pin is fixed mechanically in direction of rubber sealant. It is necessary that the mechanical force while cutting and bending, which results in pulling or pressing force on pin, does not stress the inner construction of capacitor element or to damage the rubber sealant. Excessive pulling or pressing force on the pin with miss-ing fixation can result in damage of internal pin to capac-itor element connection and also the sealing can be weakened. So, please take care to assure appropriate cutting and bending. Do not pre-damage the capacitors and shorten their lifetime performance by incorrect handling.
