OK, I give up. There are a lot of surplus dealers selling "Mallory Type FP"
capacitors, but haven't found a definition yet. Is Mallory out of
business? One of the sellers said, "made to the original Mallory spec on
original Mallory equipment..."
But I'm at a loss as to "FP", unless it's something like "footprint" or
"four-prong". Flame-proof?
Its a "Fiber Plate". It was named after the insulated mounting plate
made to mount the can on a chassis without special tooling. I think it
used the same chassis punch as an octal tube socket so prototypes and
home brewers could mount it with little trouble. Most individually
boxed caps were shipped with the fiber plate as well as a metal plate to
use if the case was grounded. Small production runs would rivet the
metal plate in, but larger runs would have the four slots punched into
the chassis. The fiber plate was almost always riveted.

There was also a smaller three tab version with up to three sections.

Both types could also be mounted with a heavy clip that snapped
around the side of the can.

I may still have a couple new plates her to take pictures if you need
to see the shape.

I don't think that'll be necessary, but you can if you want to.

Thanks!
Rich

Here, I have a huge case of these, for starters:

As they're designed for hand wiring as opposed to pcb mount, I doubt many
ppl would be interested in them these days.

I don't recall if I've actually seen it, or just dreamt or fantasized it,
but it seems that one of those could be put on a PCB by poking slotted
holes.

Cheers!

Why did you just copy what I said, but un-indent it and take off my name?

Thanks,
