Abstract
An electrolytic glass encapsulated capacitor has a pressure connection to the cathode lead. The glass envelope includes a sintered body having a dielectric oxide layer, semiconductor and conducting layers. A porous deformable metal layer is sprayed on the conducting layer adjacent the cathode lead which extends through the glass. The cathode lead is pressed into the deformable layer to provide an improved connection.
Claims8
In a glass enclosed electrolytic capacitor comprising a glass envelope, a sintered metal body within said envelope, a dielectric oxide layer on said body, a semiconductor layer on said dielectric oxide layer, a graphite conducting layer on said semiconductor layer, a conducting layer on the graphite, an anode lead sealed at one end of said envelope and connected to one end of said body, and a cathode lead sealed at the other end of said envelope, wherein the improvement comprises a deformable metal layer on said conducting layer at the other end of said body connected by pressure contact to said cathode lead;
- and said cathode lead pressure contact within said metal layer deforms said layer.
