Abstract
An electronic power supply which employs energy storage capacitors has an enclosure defining a housing including a base and a cover. The capacitors are resiliently supported within the enclosure on a carrier. Integral receivers extend from the underside of the top of the cover in registration with the carrier and engage the capacitors to clamp the capacitors in a fixed position within the housing. The housing exterior includes a thermal radiator consisting of multiple fins which extend outwardly from the receivers for dissipating heat generated in the capacitors.
