Capacitor and process for forming electrical connections therein

A method of forming a capacitor comprising:

• forming a capacitor body comprising an anode, a dielectric on said anode and a cathode on said dielectric with at least two anode wires in electrical contact with said anode and extending from said capacitor body and with one separate anode node in electrical contact with each said anode wire;
• electrically connecting each said at least one anode node to each anode wire of said anode wires and to an external termination;
• encapsulating said capacitor body and at least a portion of said anode wires and anode nodes,
• forming a metallization layer, wherein said metallization layer is in electrical contact with each said anode node wherein said metallization layer is an external termination;
• and
• forming a cathode external termination in electrical contact with said cathode.

A capacitor comprising:

• a capacitor body comprising an anode, a dielectric on said anode and a cathode on said dielectric;
• at least two anode wires in electrical contact with said anode and extending from said capacitor body;
