If I leave two of the sections connected at one end and use terminals on the
other end to get two sections in series (.07 uf) do the sections need to be
arranged in a straight line (terminals at opposite ends) or can I simply
separate the treminal ends enough to prevent arcing (forming a "V" shaped
cap)?
