Abstract

An aluminum-electrolyte capacitor assembly is provided which includes a capacitor disposed in a metallic housing. The housing is accommodated and held by a ring clamp. The ring clamp is attached to a mounting plate, preferably by screw fasteners. The mounting plate includes a bore for accommodating at least part of the housing. The ring clamp includes a conically shaped extension that extends downward and mateably engages the bore. The assembly may also include a protective ring disposed in the bore and sandwiched between the conically shaped extension of the ring clamp and the mounting plate.
