Abstract
A capacitor holder for mounting capacitors used in electronics assemblies into a fixture, as well as mounting other types of components in other panels. The capacitor holder includes a support for receiving the capacitor and a cover for covering the capacitor. The cover and the support are attached to each other without the use of separable fasteners. Typically, snap-fit tabs depending from the cover are used to attach the cover to the support with a capacitor there between to form an assembly. The assembly is mounted into a fixture panel without the use of separable fasteners. In another typically embodiment, the mounting members are push-in and twist or push-in and snap-fit members integral with the cover. Thus, the capacitor is mounted within a fixture without separable fasteners. A method of aligning the capacitor within the panel is also disclosed.
