Can you gain room by mounting the part on the "abnormal" side of the PCB?

I'm among the very last people to suggest ceramic dielectric in a coupling cap. position, but your mechanical restraints ARE a problem. Unlike most ceramic caps., NP0/C0G dielectric is tolerable as a coupler. A link to an AVX brand part is provided below. Not surprisingly, the part is big, but lead forming could make it a "winner". Also, some ambient heat is OK.
