Abstract
A mount is provided for electrolytic capacitors, the mount being in the form of a ring having an internal shoulder portion. On the opposite end of the mount from the end on which the shoulder portion is located is a groove containing a compressible O-ring. When the capacitor is inserted in the mount with its terminals extending downwardly to the surface of a circuit board, the top edge of the capacitor can rest on the shoulder of the ring mount. Screws are inserted from the opposite side of the circuit board and engage the terminals. Upon being tightened, the capacitor can is drawn downwards bringing the end of the capacitor can into firm engagement with the ring mount and causing it to compress the O-ring so as to provide a seal between the O-ring and the surface of the circuit board.
