Cute 1980s SMT capacitor
« on: October 27, 2024, 06:51:49 am »
Inspecting a 1988 hard drive PCB before powering it up and saw a trapped SMT capacitor.
I think through-hole assembly was still so much cheaper than surface mount that it was somehow worth the cost to encapsulate SMT parts in a leaded package for assembly.
Isn't this weird and wonderful?

Neat, aren't they? Some discussion here, including a scanned old datasheet:
