Electrical component package and packaged electrical component

A packaged electrolytic capacitor comprising:

• a tubular body having first and second ends and an opening at the first end for receiving an electrical component;
• an electrolytic capacitor disposed within the tubular body;
• an end cap mounted on the first end of the tubular body, closing the opening;
• and
• a fluid-filled pressure-applying element disposed within the tubular body between the end cap and the electrolytic capacitor, applying pressure to the electrolytic capacitor within the tubular body.

A packaged electrical component comprising:

• a tubular body having first and second ends and an opening at the first end for receiving an electrical component;
• an electrical component disposed within the tubular body;
• an end cap mounted on the first end of the tubular body, closing the opening;
• and
• a closed, variable volume, fluid-filled pressure-applying element disposed within the tubular body between the end cap and the electrical component, applying pressure to the electrical component within the tubular body.

A packaged electrical component comprising:

• a tubular body having first and second ends and an opening at the first end for receiving an electrical component;
• an electrical component disposed within the tubular body;
• and
• a fluid-filled end cap applying pressure to the electrical component within the tubular body, the end cap including an end wall, a side wall transverse to the end wall, and an elastic membrane mounted on the side wall and forming an internal volume within the end cap, the end cap being mounted on the first end of the tubular body, closing and sealing the opening.

A packaged electrical component comprising:

• an elastomeric tubular body having first and second ends and an opening at the first end for receiving an electrical component;
• an electrical component disposed within the elastomeric tubular body;
• an end cap mounted on the first end of the elastomeric tubular body, closing the opening;
• and
• a pressure-applying element disposed within the elastomeric tubular body between the end cap and the electrical component, applying pressure to the electrical component with in the elastomeric tubular body, the pressure-applying element comprising a variable volume container filled with a solid produced by curing of a liquid injected into the container.
