  • Apparatus and method for minimizing currents in electrical devices
    Patent number: 6278065
    Abstract: A method for minimizing leakage currents in electrical devices with ceramic bodies. An electrical device that includes a ceramic body with electrically conductive terminations and is provided with a protective sealant to prevent flux penetration during the subsequent soldering of the device into an electrical circuit. The method includes coating the device in a fluorinated polymer which inhibits flux penetration of the ceramic body during soldering of the terminals without interfering with the soldering process.
