When comparing outside kink vs inside kink, there are some considerations for both of these lead styles. For the outside kink, on some part types, the distance between the kinks will exceed the diameter of the disc and may cause issues with board space and adjacent components. In this case, designers may choose the inside kink to avoid this issue. When using the inside kink on some part types, it is possible that the distance between the leads violates the minimum clearance distance specified in the IEC standard. Users of safety capacitors must consider clearance distances when selecting lead styles to avoid violation of the safety standard.
