Proper Mounting Large Caps

rolandong · 17th July 2007, 08:48 AM

Hi,

Unlike the screw type which is easier,
how do you mount this capacitor properly?

Appreciate any ideas, links or suggestion.

regards,
Roland

Screw them to the bottom of the chassis... ?

Either that, or just sit on them.

Might be a good idea to discharge them before option 2...

Will it result in capumans or humacitors?

A manual override if they're charged, i think
(minus the m and the u)

roland,

you can line them up on sheet of paper to locate holes, i assume you will use all 8 of them right? so that piece of paper can serve as your drilling template....

now for the proper orientation of the lugs, you can loosen the side screw a bit and orient the cans till you get all positive or negative terminals lined up, then tighten them back...

this is how i do it, could work for you...

hey, this is diy, jsut ask and you shall recieve......

Actually I am not sure he meant "mount"... he probably meant "connect" hence the screw type reference he makes...

Roland just solder them with 8 gauge wire (if too hard, use 10 ga).

I think he is asking how do you properly mount leads to the top of the caps.

Looks like they are designed to accept crimp terminals like this-
(fully insulated quick disconnect)

or this
(uninsulated quick disconnect)

or solder wires into the little holes.
