Abstract:
The disclosed electrolytic capacitors have an end-seal and a terminal at an end of a case containing an electrolytic capacitor section. A metal-disc barrier between the electrode assembly and the end-seal is retained in the case by a formation of the case for preventing expulsion of the electrode assembly upon occurrence of an internal pressure great enough to blow the end-seal out of its case-sealing position.
An electrolytic filter capacitor of wound elongate electrode foils and an electrolyte in a separator between the foils has very low effective series resistance and inductance by virtue of particular terminal connections to the foils. A pair of wires extend across and are joined to the foils, respectively, at corresponding locations along the wound elongated foils; the ends of the wires extend oppositely to provide four terminals for the two foils, an oppositely poled pair of terminals at each end of the capacitor.
