Abstract
A method of making an electrical terminal in a metal capacitor housing. The terminal includes a metal disc on which a metal pin is eccentrically formed. By means of the pin, a part of an insulating foil inserted between the terminal and the housing is pressed through a hole in the housing, after which the pin is riveted. The foil is removed from the end of the pin, whereby a capacitor electrode can be welded to the pin.
Claims6
A method of providing a metal, electrical terminal in an end face of a cylindrical metal capacitor housing, containing a capacitor body with at least two electrodes, one of the electrodes being electrically connected to the capacitor housing, the other electrode being electrically connected to the terminal electrically insulated from the capacitor housing, comprising the steps of
- providing a capacitor housing end face made of metal and at least partly covered by an electrically insulating foil;
- pushing a portion of said foil through an opening in said end face by means of a pin, thereby providing said terminal through and insulated from said end face;
- removing said foil from the end of the pin pressed through said opening;
- and
- connecting one of said electrodes to said terminal.
