Axial (electrolitic) capacitors, are there any?

[CABBAGE0896]

I’m looking to use a 470uf capacitor on a small project and I would like to use an axial type to reduce the overall height on the PCB, Is there one available? I can’t seem to find one in the different packages available within the normal radial type so I’m reaching out to see what I’m missing. How would I select the axial version for a larger capacitor? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks

P.s. or could I possibly edit a part to suit my needs?

Try this one ( a google search for “fritzing part axial electrolytic capacitor” is your friend, I remembered making this one but not where it was …):

TVX1V101MAD Electrolytic Capacitor, Axial Leads

I’m designing a 200mm x 100mm board that needs a 100uF, electrolytic capacitor with axial leads. I’m not finding a generic axial capacitor that can be modified with through hole lead spacing up to 40mm. I’ve chosen the Nichicon, TVX1V101MAD that has dimensions of 8mm diameter x 16mm length. The leads are 0.6mm diameter. I’d like to be able to set the through hole pad spacing around 35mm - 40mm. I realize I can just put down pads on the pc board, but it would be nice to have a generic axial…

Yes it is possible (if not necessarily easy) to edit a part to do this. See Old_Grey’s series of videos on parts creation. Usually a google search is easier.
