Heya.
I have rescued an older capacitor from a Mobo, of undeterminant
origins, and I discovered it (or I should say they) have 5 leads. a
-. 1, 2, 3, 4. I've tried looking it up on the net, but I've had no
luck. Maybe someone here can help me?

Wordage on Cap:
Siemens
German
LL LL LL LL
B43507-F0687-M
680uFan1 +20/-20%
385V--
-40 . . . +85*C
DIN 41268
05.93

I've got it to hold a charge across the 1 --> - leads, but other than
that, it's not giving me any hints. Its fairly big, with a 2cm Radius
and a 7cm height, which leads me to believe that there is more than one
capacitor in there, but hey, if I knew, would I be asking you guys?

It is or was a standard Euro package, made by Philips/BD Components and BHC in
the UK as well.

If you find the relevant Philips data sheet, it will apply to the Siemens cap as
well.

I'll have a look in our data books at the factory later.

This can was (or is?) a sort of standard package for large
electrolytics. Due to its weight, it has additional pins to be soldered
into the PCB. There were types with multiple capacities in one can,
however this obviously has only one:

680µF an 1 (german; it means 680µF at terminal 1 - against the common
negative electrode).

The other three terminals surely are not connected internally.

If it is the equivalent, the Philips/BC part is:

2222 053 58681

PCB grid is in the form of four pins as a star with pin 5 off on its
own.

If you look at RS part number 107-870 as a means of getting up the
catalogue page, there is a set of pinouts at the bottom of that page.
