Publication number: 20040246652Abstract: A capacitor with better resistance to vibration, and a method for its production, are proposed. For this purpose, a capacitor winding (10) is introduced into a housing (5), such that it is partially interlocked with the housing. After this, the capacitor winding is impregnated, during which process it expands and additional pressure forces occur between the winding and the cover wall, which fix the capacitor in the horizontal direction. In a final method step, the capacitor is then fixed vertically between a cover (15) and the base of the cup-shaped housing, by pinching.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2004Publication date: December 9, 2004Inventors: Norbert Will, Rainer Hebel, Wilhelm Schweikert, Klaus Danzer, Rudolf Wittmann

Patent number: 6768056Abstract: A capacitor housing includes an electrically conductive cup having a wall and a bottom, and an electrically insulating envelope which substantially covers an exterior of the cup and which includes an opening at a bottom of the cup. The opening is smaller than the bottom of the cup. The capacitor housing also includes a fill element which is substantially heat-conductive and disposed inside the opening and a cover element which is substantially electrically insulating, that covers at least part of the bottom of the cup and overlaps at least part of the envelope.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2003Date of Patent: July 27, 2004Assignee: Epcos AGInventors: Edmund Fischer, Rainer Hebel, Thomas Kopp, Wilhelm Schweikert

Publication number: 20040080898Abstract: The invention relates to a housing (1) comprising an electrically conductive cup (2), which comprises a wall (3) and a bottom (4), and an electrically insulating envelope (5), which covers the exterior of the cup (2) and features an opening (6) on the bottom side that is smaller than the bottom (4) of the cup (2), and a fill element (7), which is effectively heat-conductive and is disposed within the opening (6), and a cover element (8), which is electrically insulating and covers the bottom (4) of the cup (2) and overlaps the envelope (5). Furthermore, the invention relates to an electrolytic capacitor comprising a rounded coil (10) and the housing (1), as well as a housing structure and a structure comprising an electrolytic capacitor. Through the use of a flat cup bottom in connection with a fill element (7) and a cover element (8), improved heat dissipation from the housing (1) can be achieved, as well as a reduction in the cost of manufacturing the cup (2).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2003Publication date: April 29, 2004Inventors: Edmund Fischer, Rainer Hebel, Thomas Kopp, Wilhelm Schweikert

Patent number: 6259595Abstract: An electrical component is installed in a metallic housing having a planar housing floor, in which the housing is pressed against a heat dissipation plate by means of screwable tension elements that are situated adjacent the housing wall. The tension elements have peaks at a portion that faces the housing wall. The housing has an indentation in the clamping region of the tension elements which serves as an aid to assembly, and the center line of the indentation is arranged higher prior to the fixing of the housing by means of the peak of the tension elements than subsequent thereto.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 1999Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Assignee: Siemens Matsushita Components GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 5021927Abstract: A cooling system for an electrical wound electrolyte capacitor wherein the capacitor winding 4 is mounted in a metallic cylindrical-shape housing 5 and the winding 4 has electric foils 7 and 9 which project from both ends with one of the foils being in thermic contact with the floor of the housing 6 and the other foil 9 being in thermal contact with a metallic plate 16. The heat bridges thus formed by faster and greater heat removal for high alternating currents because the temperature within the capacitor is reduced by the two separate bridges.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 1990Date of Patent: June 4, 1991Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellscaftInventors: Wilhelm Schweikert, Norbert Will

Patent number: 4920457Abstract: An aluminum electrolyte capacitor is provided composed of two aluminum foils between which spacers saturated with the operating electrolyte are arranged. Terminal elements are riveted and/or welded to the foils. The anode foil provided with the dielectrically acting oxide layer may potentially be produced from a larger, formed foil web. The non-formed cut edges of the aluminum foil as well as the terminal elements are covered with a fine-grained, electrolyte-compatible material. As a result thereof, the maximum operating voltage U.sub.max of traditional operating electrolytes is boosted.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 1988Date of Patent: April 24, 1990Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Wilhelm Schweikert, Norbert Will, Wilhelm Lauer
