Has anyone ever tried/used one of these type of radial, 0.1uf 50v caps?

Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors MLCC - Leaded MD01 0.1uF 50volts X7R 20% Attachment not found.

    Looked at the part number in the post, and it looks like a device I have used for years. I got a large qty of these in a bulk buy and have been using them for bypass caps in many different projects going back to the z80 controllers I wrapped back in the late '80s. Nice thing about using them was I just bought the next size up 16 pin v 14 pin socket) in .3 dips and wrapped them into the socket as though they were extra pins. Maybe excessive for bypass caps, but the buy was cheap, and I have always gone with one bypass per chip (sometimes less with simple gates) as a rule of thumb and these were the ideal solution. No soldering, wrapped before anything else, used Wiremaster in the earliest projects so that I could modify with minimum un/rewrapping. Also no separate pins needed to do these except the 24+ pin .6 dips and .3 28 pin dips. Now with smt, all bets are off. They work great in breadboard projects as well.

    All that said, what do you plan to do with that part?

    Frank, planned on using them for bypass on breadboard, was even considering using them on actual project board depending on how small. Looks like they could take a beating shock-size, as opposed to a SMT/SMD type. There is also a through-hole job at Mouser# 581-AA105C104K4R that looks interesting and has good operating heat range. I'm trying to stay away from SMT devices unless I have to, and even then epoxy along with solder, those types.
