A device is provided for mounting electrolytic capacitors on circuit boards, the mount being in the form of a ring (10) having an internal shoulder portion (11). On the opposite end of the mount from the end on which the shoulder portion is located is a groove (12) containing a compressible O-ring (14). When the capacitor (4) is inserted in the mount with its terminals (6, 6 min ) extending downwardly to the surface of a circuit board (2), the top edge of the capacitor can rests on the shoulder of the ring mount. Screws (8, 8 min ) 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. |
