  • Sintered electrodes for a capacitor
    Patent number: 11705287
    Abstract: A capacitor case sealed to retain electrolyte; a sintered anode disposed in the capacitor case, the sintered anode having a shape wherein the sintered anode includes a mating portion; a conductor coupled to the sintered anode, the conductor sealingly extending through the capacitor case to a terminal disposed on an exterior of the capacitor case; a sintered cathode disposed in the capacitor case, the sintered cathode having a shape that mates with the mating portion of the sintered anode such that the sintered cathode matingly fits in the mating portion of the sintered anode; a separator between the sintered anode and the sintered cathode; and a second terminal disposed on the exterior of the capacitor case and in electrical communication with the sintered cathode, with the terminal and the second terminal electrically isolated from one another.

  • Capacitor stack insulation
    Patent number: 10930437
    Abstract: A medical device capacitor assembly can include a capacitor including a plurality of anodes and cathodes, wherein the capacitor has a first major face, a second major face opposite the first major face, and a third face extending between the first major face and the second major face. A first insulating film can be sized and shaped to assemble against the first major face, and can include a first set of flaps sized and shaped to cover at least a portion of the third face. A second insulating film sized and shaped to assemble against the second major face, and can include a second set of flaps sized and shaped to cover at least a portion of the third face.
