Abstract

The invention relates to a supporting strip for connections for capacitors or the like, a strip provided with such connections and a process for fixing capacitors to such connections. According to the invention, the connection supporting strip has series of upper and lower slots, which are respectively aligned with one another. Each upper slot is wider than the corresponding lower slot in such a way that the introduction of hairpin-like connections with a base shaped like a U located on the side of the upper slot brings about a progressive tightening of the ends of the arms of said connections. This leads to an improvement of the fixing of clips or tabs for capacitors of the "paving stone" type prior to the welding and coating stages. Application to the production of capacitors.
