NOVOFLEX | Snapper Capacitor Holder
Tool-Free Capacitor Retention System
Secure and vibration-resistant mounting of aluminium electrolytic capacitors in electronic assemblies where installation speed, electrical insulation, and long-term component stability are critical. Designed for telecom systems, power supply assemblies, industrial control panels, automotive electronics, networking equipment, railway electronics, aviation systems, and high-density PCB assemblies requiring dependable capacitor retention.
In electronic systems exposed to vibration, thermal cycling, and continuous operation, capacitor instability gradually creates mechanical stress on solder joints, PCB tracks, and component housings. Conventional metal clamps increase assembly complexity, add conductive elements, and may damage capacitor sleeves during servicing or replacement. Novoflex Snapper Capacitor Holder is engineered to provide secure reusable capacitor retention while protecting sensitive components and simplifying assembly operations through a one-piece snap-lock design.
