yes, it is only the parts inside of that shell we’ll discuss, here. I’ve edited the question to reflect that.
it does seem to suggest, though, to move any control circuitry out beyond that shell, if it has tantalum, tin, iron, or silver in it.
another question: what substance is used as the electrolyte in the capacitors?
