Installation Notes

All V-Cap series use 18 AWG solid copper leads. Because of the nature of solid core copper, extra care should be exercised when bending the leads for installation.
Leads should be kept as short as possible, and the caps should be mounted securely. 3M double-sided foam tape works well, as does nylon ties for the heavier Teflon parts. Avoid over-tightening with ties.
Although the V-Caps are not polarized, many have found it best to keep the lead orientation relative to the innermost and outermost foil consistent between left and right channels. Placement of the outer foil for each V-Cap series is listed below. Note that these are general guidelines, and there may be instances where revsersing the caps may prove to be preferred in your system

CuTF & TFTF Series

OIMP Series

The green lead indicates the outermost foil, and should be connected to the lowest impedance path to ground. Another way to identify outer foil is the writing on the label flows towards the outer foil.
When used in amplifiers, outer foil should be connected towards the plate of first stage
If using as a bypass cap to ground, connect green lead to ground.
If using as a bypass cap from a signal to B+, connect green lead to B+.
If using in a feedback position, connect green lead towards the output

The short lead indicates the outermost foil, and should be connected to the lowest impedance path to ground. Another way to identify outer foil is the writing on the label flows towards the outer foil.
