Abstract
A capacitor has a housing of two open-mouth metal cans joined in a non-overlapping arrangement by an insulative bushing that is tapered to provide a self-locking closure when mated with the cans. The electrodes of the capacitance section are electrically connected internally to opposite ends of the housing. If desired, leads are attached externally opposite the internal connections.
