Posted: Tue Oct 16, 2007 3:33 am Post subject: Capacitors

I am planning an installation based on figure Z-20. I have been checking on availability of suitable capacitors. I can find only two types - one has PCB mount pins, the other (at about 4 times the price) has screw terminals. Neither comes with any form of mounting bracket. What methods have other people used to physically mount the capacitors? I am a little concerned that if is just use a metal strap, for example, to mount it on the firewall, it might in time wear through the plastic sleeve.

   Use the one with screw terminals. Put

   a buffer between the clamp and capacitor

   body like the "adel" clamps. In fact,

   an MS21919DG clamp of the appropriate

   size is idea for this task.
