Brian,
I am not certain, but I will venture a guess that C83 will handle more
current when mounted with its leads bent over and soldered to the pads. The
other thing I can think of is that the leads present a smaller inductance
when mounted that way.

Hi guys: While assembling my KPA100, I unfortunately charged right by the
warning not to install C83 through the holes in the board. I removed the
1000ufd cap and reinstalled it as recommended. However, I am very curious
as to why it is specified to be mounted this way. I have reviewed prior
postings here, and found this question, but never saw any answers.
