Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a vacuum capacitor (1) provided with an insulating pipe (2), terminal electrodes (3, 4) that are disposed at open ends of the insulating pipe (2), and spiral electrodes (5, 6) that are connected to the terminal electrodes (3, 4). An electrode plate (7) and a spacer (8) are wound on a core member (9) to prepare a spiral electrode (5), and an electrode plate (10) and a spacer (8) are wound on a core member (11) to prepare a spiral electrode (6). A linear brazing material (12) is disposed in a groove (3c) formed in a surface of the terminal electrode (3) on an inner side of the insulating pipe (2). A platy brazing material (13) is sandwiched between the terminal electrode (3) and the spiral electrode (5) to fix the spiral electrode (5) to the terminal electrode (3). The insulating pipe (2) and the spiral electrode (6) are placed on the terminal electrode (4), and the terminal electrode (3) is disposed on the insulating pipe (2), thereby temporarily assembling the vacuum capacitor (1). The vacuum capacitor (1) is put into a vacuum heating furnace, and the terminal electrode (3) and the spiral electrode (5), the terminal electrode (4) and the spiral electrode (6), and the insulating pipe (2) and the terminal electrodes (3, 4) are respectively brazed.

A capacitor includes a dielectric structure formed of a sintered dielectric, and a first electrode and a second electrode each formed of a conductor. The dielectric structure includes a wall. The first electrode and the second electrode are insulated from each other by the wall. The wall has a height which is a dimension in a first direction, and a thickness which is a dimension in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the height being greater than the thickness. The wall has a non-straight shape when seen in the first direction.

A capacitor assembly, configured for a high-voltage application, contains an active capacitor part, a housing for accommodating the active capacitor part and an insulating medium for the electrical insulation of the active capacitor part. A flexible-shape inlay is arranged between the insulating medium and the housing and connected electrically thereto. Ideally the capacitor assembly is part of a converter assembly.

A body includes dielectric films, first electrode films, and second electrode films being stacked on one another or being wound together. A first external electrode is at one end of the body and electrically connected to the first electrode films. A second external electrode is at another end of the body and electrically connected to the second electrode films. The body includes a capacitance portion in which each of the first electrode films faces a corresponding second electrode film of the second electrode films with a corresponding dielectric film of the dielectric films in between, and the capacitance portion includes spaces each between a corresponding dielectric film of the dielectric films and a corresponding first electrode film of the first electrode films or between a corresponding dielectric film of the dielectric films and a corresponding second electrode film of the second electrode films.

An electronic component and method for manufacture thereof is disclosed. A plurality of electrodes are positioned in stacked relation to form an electrode stack. The stack may include as few as two electrodes, but more may be used depending on the number of subcomponents desired. Spacing between adjacent electrodes is determined by removable spacers during fabrication. The resulting space between adjacent electrodes is substantially filled with gaseous matter, which may be an actual gaseous fill, air, or a reduced pressure gas formed through evacuation of the space. Further, adjacent electrodes are bonded together to maintain the spacing. A casing is formed to encapsulate the stack, with first and second conducting surfaces remaining exposed outside the casing. The first conducting surface is electrically coupled to a first of the electrodes, and the second conducting surface is electrically coupled to a second of the electrodes.
