  • Hermetically sealed high energy electrolytic capacitor and capacitor assemblies with improved shock and vibration performance
    Patent number: 11742149
    Abstract: A capacitor and capacitor assemblies are provided, configured to prevent damage from shock and/or vibration. A capacitor assembly according to the invention comprises an anode plate having an anode plate wire extending from a surface of the anode plate. An anode wire holder is positioned around at least a portion of the anode plate wire. A wire separator comprising a channel is provided, at least a portion of the anode plate wire received within the channel. Methods of forming capacitors and capacitor assemblies are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 17, 2021
    Date of Patent: August 29, 2023

  • Electrophoretically deposited cathode capacitor
    Patent number: 9070512
    Abstract: An electrolytic capacitor includes a metal case, a porous pellet anode disposed within the metal case, an electrolyte disposed within the metal case, and a cathode element formed of an electrophoretically deposited metal or metal oxide powder of a uniform thickness disposed within the metal case and surrounding the anode. A method of manufacturing an electrolytic capacitor includes providing a metal case, electrophoretically depositing on the metal can a refractory metal oxide to form a cathode element, and placing a porous pellet anode and an electrolyte within the can such that the cathode element and the anode element being separated by the electrolyte.
