Abstract
A capacitor manufacturing method is disclosed herein that includes a process for the isolation of electrode tabs attached to the capacitors' electrodes from other elements in the capacitor. An isolation patch or layer may be deposited over the tabs by a machine or a device after the tab is attached and before the electrodes are wound into a cylindrical internal element of a capacitor. The device may coat the tabs and surrounding regions with an isolating material. Electrode tabs may be provided with an isolating material pre-deposited at least in part over the tabs.
Claims20
A capacitor comprising:
- an anode foil;
- a cathode foil;
- a separator between the anode foil and the cathode foil;
- an electrode tab attached to one of the anode foil or the cathode foil;
- and
- an isolating patch between the electrode tab and the separator.
A method of manufacturing a capacitor, comprising:
- attaching at least one electrode tab to at least one conducting foil;
- covering the at least one electrode tab and at least an adjacent region of the at least one conducting foil with an isolating material;
- and
- winding the at least one conducting foil with a separator to form a roll.
An electrode tab for manufacturing a capacitor, comprising:
- a first surface and a second surface,
- wherein an isolating material is covering at least a portion of the first surface;
- and
- wherein a conducting foil of the capacitor is attached to the second surface.
