Note: C1021 and C1022 are axial, but the originals have much longer leads than available now.
The leads on the replacements will need to be extended. I cut the leads from the original
and soldered them to the replacement leads. That is tricky to keep them from unsoldering.
Now, I might use a very fine wire thread and bind the leads together then solder over that
so the wire thread will hold it together if the solder gets too hot.
Hello--
Take a look at the crimp beads (AKA crimp tubes) offered by craft stores such as Jo-Ann's
or Michael's here in the U.S. (or lour local craft and hobby store)--
for example...
These crimp tubes vary widely in price and dimensions. The basic idea is to slip
a crimp tube over the end of the wire stub remaining from the PC board and the
end of the replacement component's lead. Use pliers or a jewelry crimp tool
to crimp the tube in place and mechanically secure the leads. Then apply solder to
electrically connect the leads and crimp tube.
Years ago, Sprague offered "Kwikettes" which comprised a helical wire tube coated
with solder and flux which did the same thing....
...But these are likely to be unobtainable nowadays. The site describes several alternative
methods of making these.
