What is the best way to keep hanging electrolytics and other caps from hanging, is there a standard way of fastening them to the chassis? Or is it acceptable not to fasten them?
Thank You,

My hardware store has plastic clamps that work just fine.

:I ran into this problem when I restored my raytheon TV.

I have found that using tie wraps is a good way to hold up single or bundles of electrolytics.

They can be routed thru bundles of wires for support.

BUT, you must be careful not to pinch the existing wire bundles in the set!!

Thanks

I have combined the tie wraps with adhesive fasteners that attach to the chassis and can have the tie wrap threaded through them.

Some electrolytics from AES come with this. I have also obtained them from Mouser. (www.mouser.com)

I only do this if the capacitor flops around in the chassis. If it is held steady by its leads, no further mounting is needed.

They make Ty Raps with a mounting hole in the tie part, great for caps. I forgot about those.
