Abstract: A mounting arrangement for mounting a component on a mounting plate has an elastic ring whose inside comprises a circumferential surface structure. The ring has two axial holes for fastening the ring on the mounting plate, and the ring has a radial slot that separates the ring between two end sections, so that the ring can be spread apart and then clamped around a component. The mounting arrangement is useful for mounting cylindrical components such as electrolytic capacitors that comprise a bead in the region of the floor on a mounting plate.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a mounting means for mounting a component (1) on a mounting plate (2) that is an elastic ring (3) whose inside comprises a circumferential surface structure, whereby two axial holes (4) are provided for fastening on the mounting plate (2), [said ring] comprising a radial slot (7) that parts the ring (3) between two end sections (7), and whereby means are provided for clamping the ring (3) around the component (1). The invention is also directed to a mounting arrangement comprising the mounting means. over and above this, the invention is directed to the employment of the mounting means for mounting cylindrical components (1) on a mounting plate (2). The invention can be especially advantageously employed for mounting cylindrical components (1) such as electrolytic capacitors that comprise a bead in the region of the floor (12).
