  • Electrolytic capacitor
    Patent number: 11342128
    Abstract: The electrolytic capacitor has a conductive sheet with a central portion defined by a peripheral edge, a first tail extending out from the peripheral edge in a first direction, and a second tail extending out from the peripheral edge in a second direction. The second direction is opposite the first direction. The first tail and the second tail each have a free end with a first recess at the free.

  • Method Of Aging An Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
    Publication number: 20210391120
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an aluminum electrolytic capacitor includes impregnating an aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a first electrolyte to form a first impregnated capacitor, aging the first impregnated capacitor using a first aging process to form a first aged capacitor, impregnating the first aged capacitor with a second electrolyte to form a second impregnated capacitor, the second electrolyte being different from the first electrolyte, aging the second impregnated capacitor using a final aging process to form a final aged capacitor, and impregnating the final aged capacitor with a third electrolyte.

  • Aluminum electrolytic capacitor and assembly thereof
    Patent number: 10163577
    Abstract: Designs of a capacitor housing and method of assembly are presented. A case for an electrolytic capacitor includes a non-conducting cover, a non-conducting ring component, and a non-conducting plate. The non-conducting cover has a patterned groove on a surface of the non-conducting cover. The non-conducting ring component has a shape that is substantially the same as a shape of the non-conducting cover, and is coupled to the non-conducting cover via the patterned groove of the non-conducting cover. The non-conducting plate has a shape that is substantially the same as the shape of the non-conducting cover, and has a patterned groove on a surface of the non-conducting plate. The non-conducting ring component is coupled to the non-conducting plate via the groove of the non-conducting plate.
