ABSTRACT:
A mounting spacer (16) for use in an electrolytic capacitor (10) having a capacitance section (14) and a tubular casing (12), which locates and restrains the capacitance section within the casing. The mounting spacer (16) is a flexible plastic sheet which when folded fits inside and bears against the tubular casing (12). The spacer has a base section (34) with at least two living hinges (30, 32); the living hinges connect the base section to wedge sections (40, 42) and support arms (36, 38). The support arms have cutout sections (44,46) formed by the pivoting of wedge sections (40,42) which receive and longitudinally support the capacitance section during assembly of the capacitor. The support arms flex after insertion to partially wrap around and laterally support the capacitance section while maintaining contact with the casing. After assembly, the wedge sections are resiliently held in contact with the tubular casing by the resilient base section (34) to center the spacer. The wedge sections thereby center and provide end support for the capacitance section held in the support arms.
