Technical people in da house? (continued).

A while ago i had some trouble with my beltsander.
It hummed but did not start.
I got some perfect help, it was the capacitor!

I recently got a new capacitor, same type but apparently some differences and unfortunately i am not that technical.
Black is old one, white is new one. The bold/nut is no problem, but 2 (small) connectors versus 4 (bigger ones)...?
Can i use this one somehow?

Tips, as usual, are welcome!
Thanks!

@fredsteenbergen My best guess, I’m pretty sure those are pairs of pins that are internally connected. I looked for a data sheet but didn’t find one, but that part should be a single cap. Sometimes big capacitors have duplicate pins just to make the mechanical connection easier and more secure.

I’d use a multimeter and find the pairs with almost no resistance between, and you can treat those like they’re the same pin.
