A capacitor including a capacitor element (1) that has a roll (4) of alternate dielectric layers (8) and electrode layers (9), which roll has two end surfaces (5, 6), in which the electrode layers are connectably exposed, and two contact elements that are electrically connected to the electrode layers at the end surfaces. In accordance with the invention, at least one of the contact elements includes a contact part (10, 11) which, before being connected to the electrode layers at the end surface, displays a plurality of through-running openings (15) through which a flame-sprayed metal material is affixed to attach the contact part to the end surface. The invention also relates to a process for electrically connecting the electrode layers in such a capacitor element to an external predetermined connection point.
A capacitor including at least one capacitor element (1) that includes at least one roll (4) of alternate dielectric layers (8) and electrode layers (9), which roll (4) has first and second end surfaces (5, 6), facing away from each other, in which said electrode layers (9) are connectably exposed, and two contact elements (2, 3) that are electrically connected to the electrode layers (9) at the end surfaces (5, 6), characterized in that at least one of the contact elements (2, 3) includes a contact part (10, 11) which, before being connected to the electrode layers (9) at the end surface (5, 6) as aforesaid, displays a plurality of through-running openings (15) in which an electrically conducting attachment aid (17) in the form of a flame-sprayed metal material is affixed to attach the contact part (10, 11) to the end surface (5, 6).
A process, in relation to a capacitor element (1) that includes a roll (4) of alternate dielectric layers (8) and electrode layers (9), which roll (4) has first and second end surfaces (5, 6), facing away from each other, in which said electrode layers (9) are connectably exposed, for electrically connecting the electrode layers (9) at one of the end surfaces (5, 6) to a predetermined connection point, characterized in that it includes the steps of:
