Default Sealed (really sealed) run capacitors?

This is a "sealed capacitor" with no exposed terminals. It is not
like regular caps with push on terminals. There are no exposed
terminals. I can post a picture tomorrow.



Um... then how does it connect? Does it have pigtails instead of spade
lugs?

If so... yes, pigtail caps are readily available.

I don't really know what you mean by "sealed", though. All conventional
electrolytics must have some sort of pressure-relief vent ('cept
tantalums... but they're a different breed.)

Tantalum capacitors are not electrolytics - no electrolyte (and thus no
drying out with age).
