Cased Mica Capacitors

26 Safety and Servicing Information
1. Cut the leads on the component side of the PCB.
1. Heat the solder joint sufficiently to allow easy removal of the lead
by drawing it out from the component side: do not use undue force.
2. Fill the hole with solder and then clear with solderwick.
Cased mica capacitors can be removed by heating the top with a heavy-duty
soldering iron and gently lifting the capacitor off the PCB with a
solder-resistant spike or equivalent. Make sure that the solder at the tab
solder joint is melted or removed before attempting to lift the capacitor.
