Abstract
A mounting structure for mounting an electrolytic capacitor on a printed circuit board (PCB) of an airbag electronic control unit (ECU) includes a cap for receiving a lead end of the capacitor. The cap includes openings for receiving electrical leads of the capacitor. The cap supports electrical connectors, which electrically contact the electrical leads when a lead end of the capacitor is installed in the cap. The electrical connectors include portions for interfacing with the PCB to electrically connect the electrical connectors to the PCB. The cap also includes a vent that provides fluid communication from inside the cap to outside the cap. The vent is configured to vent dielectric liquids and gases discharged from the lead end of the capacitor during thermal cycles and/or charging cycles of the capacitor.
