Why do capacitor end caps fit over capacitors?

Capacitor end caps fit over capacitors in order to protect them from damage, for example from vibrations, dust and heat. They also protect the capacitor from electrical charges present in other components, or capacitors that may meet it. In addition, capacitor end caps will shield you from electric shocks when touching the capacitor.

What are capacitor end caps & electrolytic cap nuts?

In addition, capacitor end caps will shield you from electric shocks when touching the capacitor. Electrolytic cap nuts (or electrolytic capacitor nuts) are additional parts used on electrolytic capacitors.

What are end caps & plastic nut caps?

Our End Caps and Plastic Caps are a simple multi-purpose cap, whilst our Plastic Nut Caps clip onto exposed bolt heads. Our large range of Threaded Caps are made to suit male threaded in either Metric or BSP and provide a tight seal. As a UK manufacturer of Injection Moulded Plastic Caps, we are always working on custom projects for our customers.

What is an end cap?

The cap provides protection from dirt, provides a professional finish and also prevents any unwanted contact of the components in the channel. End caps are easy to use with no tools required, simply press into place. They are available in different colours and sizes to suit the required channel.

What are capacitor accessories?

Capacitor accessories are available for the installation and protection of your capacitor. A capacitor is a passive electronic component with two terminals. Capacitors are components used to store an electric charge. Capacitor mounting clips are clips and brackets of varying diameter and size.

What are electrolytic cap nuts?

Electrolytic cap nuts (or electrolytic capacitor nuts) are additional parts used on electrolytic capacitors. Electrolytic capacitors are often cylindrical in shape with their fixing points on the end of the capacitor. These fixing points are what connect the capacitor to the circuit board or device.
