Abstract: An apparatus is provided for holding a plurality of capacitors, the apparatus comprising a mounting plate to which the capacitors can be applied and connection structures for the mutual connection of the positive poles and the negative poles of the capacitors. In order for the mounting to be simplified and in order to hold damage to individual capacitors to only a limited effect, as well as to make them individually replaceable at a later time, the mounting plate includes compartments into which the connecting structure for the positive and negative poles of the capacitors are inserted, separated from one another.
