  • Patent number: 7471501
    Abstract: A device includes a base plate, a first cell, a second cell, and a housing in which the-first cell and the second cell are arranged. The first cell and the second cell each include at least one capacitor. The device also includes a first metal plate configured connected to a capacitor in the first cell and second metal plate connected to a capacitor in the second cell. The first and second metal plates each having at least one hole configured to receive the conductive fastening element. The device also includes an electrically conductive fastening element connected through the hole in the first metal plate and the hole in the second metal plate such that the first metal plate and the second metal plate are-electrically connected to one another and mechanically attached to one another and to the base plate.

  • Publication number: 20070195485
    Abstract: The invention indicates a circuit arrangement designed as a module with a chain of connected (preferably in a row) capacitors or double-layered capacitors arranged on a base plate. The capacitors are affixed to metal plates on the side facing away from the base plate, whereby the plates in each instance have at least one hole. The plates of the capacitors attached to one another overlap one another in such a way that their holes face one another. The plates that overlap one another are at all times supported by an electrically conductive fastening bolt, set apart at equal distances from the base plate and electrically connected and mechanically attached to one another, whereby the fastening bolts go through the holes.

  • Publication number: 20060098383
    Abstract: The invention concerns an electrical component (3), with an electrical connection (1, 1a, 1b), which contains aluminum in its surface, in which a contact area (2) of the aluminum-containing surface has been made solderable. The component has the advantage that no flat contact surfaces are necessary due to the soldering, and the ohmic resistance of the contact can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 7016178
    Abstract: A housing for an electrochemical cell having at least a first electrode and a second electrode. The housing includes a lid having a first indentation to contact the first electrode, and a bottom having a second indentation to contact the second electrode. The first indentation has a first cross-section and the second indentation has a second cross-section. The first cross-section and the second cross-section get narrower as the first indentation and the second indentation progress into an interior of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20050225926
    Abstract: A housing (1) having a lid (5), for electrochemical cells having at least two electrodes is proposed, wherein indentations (5B, 10B) for contacting the electrodes are present both in the lid and in the housing bottom. In this arrangement, the indentations demonstrate a cross-section that narrows into the interior of the housing, so that a particularly large, easily welded contact area between the indentations and the electrodes is the result.

  • Patent number: 6798638
    Abstract: A pot-shaped housing with a cover for capacitors has the pot-shaped housing and cover both being extruded as single workpieces and having different spatial dimensions along two principal axes so that they form either a rectangular or square. The cover is provided with two electrical terminals, preferably with one of the terminals being conducted through an opening in the cover and the other terminal preferably being integrally formed with the cover. The cover has a bent-up edge on its periphery in an interlocking fashion with the opening in the housing pot.
