Abstract: An electrolytic capacitor is provided having an inner case housing a capacitor element and an electrolyte, which is sealed by an inner cap insulated from the body of the inner case by a gasket, with the anode terminal of the capacitor element connected to the inside face of the inner cap and an anode lead connected to the outside face of the inner cap. The inner case is placed in an outer case having a sleeve surrounding the body of the inner case and an outer cap with a hermetic seal overlaying the inner cap. An insulating spacer is positioned between the inner cap and the outer cap, whereby the spacer resists movement of the inner cap, thereby preventing outward expansion of the inner case, which otherwise might lead to failure, especially at relatively high operating temperatures.

Abstract: An electrolytic capacitor capable of operating at 75 g or greater is provided having a case with a base and a lid, with a wound capacitor element positioned on its side, lengthwise along the bottom of the base and with the underside of the lid pressed against the length of the capacitor element, to frictionally engage the capacitor element. The case is provided with inwardly projecting surfaces, including a bulkhead at one end of the capacitor element and ridges on the lid, which function as barriers to restrict movement of the capacitor element within the case. A compartment is created at one end of the case, to allow space for terminals, which are embedded in a non-conductive support matrix.
