A capacitor carrier assembly includes a carrier, a capacitor disposed in the carrier and electrically conductive connection terminals. The connection terminals support the carrier with respect to another electronic component or device such as a printed circuit board, retain individual carrier portions in an assembled configuration, and provide an electrical connection between the capacitor and the electronic component. Each connection terminal includes an elastic member that protrudes from a surface of the connection terminal and engages the carrier, and regions of serrations provided on opposed edges of the terminal that engage the carrier, and a flange that protrudes from the surface in a direction perpendicular to the first surface. An edge of the flange includes an insulation displacement contact (IDC) joint for connection to the capacitor leads.

A carrier includes first and second container portions that are assembled together to provide a structure the supports and retains a capacitor. The first container portion and the second container portion are assembled together in a configuration in which the edges of the first wall structures face corresponding ones of the edges of the second wall structures, and the edges of the first wall structures are overlapping with respect to the corresponding ones of the edges of the second wall structures when the carrier is viewed in side view.

A capacitor carrier assembly includes a carrier, a capacitor disposed in the carrier and electrically conductive connection terminals that support the carrier with respect to another electronic component or device such as a printed circuit board. Each connection terminal has a body portion that is electrically connected to one capacitor lead of the pair of capacitor leads at a connection location, and a device connection portion that protrudes from the carrier. Leads of the capacitor and the connection locations are encapsulated by wall structures of the carrier.

A carrier is configured to house a capacitor that includes a casing, a first capacitor lead that protrudes from the casing and a second capacitor lead that protrudes from the casing. The carrier includes a first container portion and a second container portion. The first container portion and the second container portion have the same shape and dimensions, and when assembled together, define an interior space that receives and retains the capacitor therein.

A capacitor explosion-proof device includes an explosion-proof casing, covering a top of an electrolytic capacitor opposing the pins. The explosion-proof casing includes a side plate, at least one vent disposed on the side plate and opposing the top. By avoiding spread of electrolyte solution, probability of a fire can be reduced.

A capacitor manufacturing method is disclosed herein that includes a process for the isolation of electrode tabs attached to the capacitors' electrodes from other elements in the capacitor. An isolation patch or layer may be deposited over the tabs by a machine or a device after the tab is attached and before the electrodes are wound into a cylindrical internal element of a capacitor. The device may coat the tabs and surrounding regions with an isolating material. Electrode tabs may be provided with an isolating material pre-deposited at least in part over the tabs.

A tantalum capacitor includes: a tantalum body having a tantalum wire exposed from one surface of the tantalum body; a molded portion including first and second surfaces opposing in a thickness direction, third and fourth surfaces opposing in a width direction, and fifth and sixth surfaces opposing in a longitudinal direction, the molded portion surrounding the tantalum body; an anode lead frame including an anode connection member and an anode terminal, which are connected to the tantalum wire, exposed through the second surface of the molded portion; and a cathode lead frame spaced apart from the anode lead frame, and exposed through the second surface of the molded portion, wherein end portions of the tantalum wire, the anode connection member, and the anode terminal in the longitudinal direction are on a same plane.

A capacitor has electrode foil (2, 60) and a terminal (tab 4) connected, an etch layer (16) being formed in the electrode foil, wherein a plurality of interrupting parts (12) are included in the etch layer, which is formed in the electrode foil, and at least in a connection part (stitching part 6) at which the terminal is connected. It makes it possible for the electrode foil of a higher capacitance to have flexibility, makes it possible to suppress cracks caused by pressing, and makes it possible to prevent cracks from spreading. In addition, such effects are expected that the electrode foil can be prevented from being damaged in a process of connecting the tab including folding the electrode foil, and pressing raised pieces of the electrode foil and the tab onto the electrode foil.
