What is your lead spacing requirement?
Do you prefer a coated solution?
Is there a height restriction?
Will the capacitor or assembled circuit be
submerged in a solvent, compound or solution?
Are you currently using a capacitor that
requires voltage derating?
What is your capacitance requirement?
What is your voltage requirement at operating
temperature?
Is mechanical stress, extreme thermal
cycling, shock and/or vibration a concern?
Do you require a specific lead form?
