Abstract
This document discusses capacitive elements including a first, second and third electrode arranged in a stack. The third electrode is positioned between the first and second electrode. An interconnect includes a unitary substrate shared with the first and second electrodes. The interconnect is adapted to deform to accommodate the stacked nature of the first and second electrodes. The unitary substrate includes a sintered material disposed thereon.
Claims16
An apparatus comprising:
- a hermetically sealed capacitor case sealed to retain electrolyte;
- a first electrode disposed in the capacitor case;
- a second electrode disposed in the capacitor case in a stack with the first electrode, the second electrode including sintered material disposed on a flexible unitary substrate, with the flexible unitary substrate including a connection portion that is flexed and coupled to the first electrode;
- a third electrode disposed in the capacitor case in the stack;
- a first terminal coupled to the first electrode;
- and
- a second terminal coupled to the third electrode, the second terminal electrically isolated from the first terminal.
