I got some old Siemens MP capacitors in a design that I am seeing for the first time.
One electrode of the capacitor is connected to the two solder terminals, the other is the case.
What is the idea behind this? What advantages does this offer?
The capacitors are obviously used, but they measure like new ones. The caps were built in 1961 and have a very high quality case, I think they were expensive.
