Abstract
A capacitor assembly containing a solid electrolytic capacitor element and an anode lead extending in a direction therefrom, first and second cathode terminations, and an anode termination is provided. The first cathode termination contains a first portion that is substantially parallel to a lower surface of the capacitor element and in electrical contact therewith, and the second cathode termination contains a second portion that is substantially parallel to an upper surface of the capacitor element and in electrical contact therewith. Through such a “sandwich” configuration, the degree of surface contact between the cathode terminations and capacitor element is increased, which can help dissipate heat and allow it to handle higher currents that would normally cause overheating. The terminations may also provide increased mechanical support.
