"Snap-in mount" capacitors

[FireFly]

While looking over some big capacitor specs on the NTE site, I came across what they call Snap-in mount. Can these be used with a board I create myself? Is there some kind of connector that I would attach to the board and then the capacitor attaches to that? Or what...?

I have purchased these in the past. The legs are bent to an angle which permits them to snap into the circuit board for a snug fit. I have not seen any sockets for them, but perhaps they do exist.

capacitor brackets to put capacitors in are handy you will see what i mean if you go to the high voltage stuff section look at poor mans plasma display and metalic discharge globes i used capacitor holders in these to hold the pvc pipes, you can allso make your own capacitor holders freom pvc storm water pipes youll see the details in home made capaciotr holders in the high voltage stuff section, and if you veiw all my postings on flyback driver circuits or home made pvc circuit boxes youll see a home made electro holder on the back of one of them

FireFly,

If you have the datasheet for the cap often there is a layout that can be used for drilling the pcb.

I think this kind of capacitor is just used for PCB with vias plated.... else you can't have the contact....
