Electrolytic Caps, 4 leads. Any Good?

[Mikett]

I can get some 10,000 uF 63V caps with four leads on them. They are "snap in" type, Are they better than the regular two leads type?

I have the 2 prong 10,000 Uf at 63V in stock and
have had the 5 prong too. They only use the 2 pins
the other pins are for placement so it gives
the cap stability on the board and for mounting
so you don't put it in backwards. Either ones will
work fine....

If they are a four pole type, I would like some also. The four pole have two + poles and two - poles. This is an impedance network.
The 10,000 ufd 63 volt 4 pole caps I have cost 19.00 each. These are not cheap capacitors. There are two sources today, but several large companies used to make them.
Look at both the Jensen and DNM websites for a technical explaination. They do a great job of filtering.
If the caps are just two pole caps with extra legs for mounting stability they can be purchased for less than 10.00 each new. The Panasonics I have were about 9.00 each fron Digikey.
