  • Cartridge capacitor and method of manufacturing the same
    Patent number: 6366445
    Abstract: A cartridge capacitor, such as floating cathode electrolytic capacitor, having anodes, a floating cathode, and electrolytic layers rolled into a cartridge. Consecutive turns of the floating cathode are connected together by a conductor to reduce generated heat and to improve heat dissipation. An anode at outer turns of the capacitor is smaller in area than an anode at inner turns of the capacitor to reduce heat generated at the inner turns. The anodes can be made of an amorphous oxide foil.
