OTC "Silasitc"?

Nerull:
OP never specified this was for a one-off, you seem to have made that detail up in your head.

And yes, bolting capacitors to a big piece of metal is moronic. How many expensive custom machined or stamped parts are you going to put on your cheap, one-off board?
coppercone2:
ones that you make with a hammer in 5 minutes?

expensive? custom machined? your competing with glue ffs.

And you call that crap better and more elegant than using silicone adhesive? I ask again, show a photo of PCB where your suggestion is actually realized. And not something like a one huge axial cap bolted down while other components are not on PCB from 70's-80's . Not just products of your imagination.
RobertHolcombe:
Someone has had a bad experience with silicone...

Only applied where needed it literally takes 5 seconds to sever/remove with a knife or side cutters. If you are doing rework but don't have either of those but you have metal fabrication tools and spare metal, perhaps crafting a blade from scratch would be more time efficient for you than making custom brackets  ::)
