One of the key benefits of radial and axial leaded devices is their ability to resist shock and vibration. As with microphonic noise reduction, the wire lead material acts as an effective “shock absorber” and inhibits the transfer of mechanical shock and vibration from damaging the capacitor body of the device. As such, leaded capacitors are well suited for use in many associated applications including aerospace engine compartments, geophysical probes, hybrid and electric automotive motor drives, defense applications and deep well drilling activities.
