Source for Low-Pro caps?

That would be snap in capacitors

and yeah if the cap spans more than 1 row on vero they're a no go

This is essentially what I'm tryin to figure out! Ha... It seems that snap-in caps are usually much bigger/higher values, but this is what I'm picturing when they say "cut"...

I'm pretty sure it just means there's no long lead for the anode, they're flush but still long enough. Here's a random datasheet for an nichicon cap that comes in straight and cut. The rubycon sheet shows a little mark too where they're shortened, not flush but that's probably just manufacturer differences.

Ah! Ok that makes sense, and looks like they might still be long enough to hold a cap in place or reach to a neighboring vero pad. Thanks for checking that out, missed it when looking at the sheets. That must be it.

I don't see it being anything else. I've never paid attention to it and never had any come way too short.

 

[Ginsly]

Well, the word is in from Mouser- erroneous info! No cut!

Im pretty sure cut just means they come on a cut strip. The machine feed type. It's just the packaging type, like bulk are just loose

Edit: nevermind, I didn't read the whole thing

I take it lead spacing of 1.5mm is not a huge issue for pcbs? I think I've always stuck to 2mm, but a couple of these lo-pros are 1.5.
