A wound capacitor and method therefor having metallized elongated dielectric webs. An additional dielectric web is wound about the capacitor roll and forms a protective wrap. The additional web has a pair of metal foil band terminals formed on the side of the additional web remote from the capacitor roll with each band disposed adjacent a respective end of the capacitor roll and extending there beyond. Terminals are bonded to each end of the capacitor with each terminal contacting a respective metallized electrode and an adjacent metallic band. An additional dielectric web having a plurality of metal foil bands is also wound about a capacitor roll of electrodes formed in staggered and overlapping arrangement relative to each other. The capacitor roll is then chopped to form substantially small sized capacitors each having a protective wrap with a pair of metal foil band terminals.

A capacitor providing a thermal alert includes a wound film capacitor for carrying a large current when coupled to an AC generator. The wound film capacitor includes a hollow core extending from one end to another end of the capacitor. Also included are an in-line thermal switch, which is disposed in the hollow core for sensing a predetermined temperature; and a light indicator, which is coupled to the thermal switch. A single housing is integrally formed from an upper cover and a lower cover for housing the capacitor, the thermal switch and the light indicator. The upper cover of the housing is formed from translucent material. The thermal switch is configured to disconnect the wound film capacitor from the AC generator upon reaching the predetermined temperature, and activate the light indicator to emit a light. The upper cover is effective in transmitting the light from inside the housing to outside of the housing. The light indicator includes an incandescent light bulb, a neon bulb, or a light emitting diode (LED).

A capacitor having a large current carrying capacity includes a hollow core formed by a non-conducting tubular section, and a capacitor winding wrapped around the tubular section. A thermal cutoff device is disposed within the hollow core. The thermal cutoff device is configured to sense a predetermined temperature level within the hollow core and disable the current carrying capacity of the capacitor. The thermal cutoff device is disposed at a geometric center of the capacitor winding, which is also the hot spot of the capacitor winding. The thermal cutoff device includes first and second conductors electrically connected to each other with a predetermined solder alloy. The first conductor includes a cross-sectional portion that is attached to the second conductor. The cross-sectional portion is subjected to a springing force in a lateral direction away from the second conductor. Upon melting of the solder alloy, the springing force moves the cross-sectional portion away from the second conductor, thereby disabling the current carrying capacity of the capacitor.

A planar terminated capacitor and a method for fabricating planar terminated capacitors is disclosed wherein a capacitor element is inserted in a nonconductive tubular sleeve. The sleeve extends outwardly beyond the ends of the capacitor element forming cavities at each end of the sleeve. These cavities are filled with a conductive substance and metal end caps are positioned at the ends of the sleeve substantially enclosing the cavities. The conductive substance electrically couples the end caps to the ends of the capacitor element.

Finished electrical components having wire lead terminals are converted to elements having planar terminations by placing end caps or shoes over the ends of an existing component. A finished film capacitor having radial wire leads that is presently on a distributor's shelf, ready for shipment, may be converted to a capacitor for solder reforming by the use of these conversion caps. The capacitor may then be secured in a planar fashion to a substrate.

A metallized wound capacitor having a pair of elongated dielectric webs with a first electrode metallized on a first face of each dielectric web. The first electrodes extend from opposing longitudinal edges leaving respective bare margins of the dielectric webs along opposing edges. Each of the dielectric webs also has a second electrode metallized on a second face and opposing the respective bare margin. Each second electrode has a width which is substantially no greater than the respective bare margin. In this manner, each second electrode does not extend in an opposing relationship with its respective first electrode.

A wound capacitor having high current carrying capacity in which a capacitor winding is wrapped around a core assembly having high thermal conductivity. The core assembly transfers thermal energy from the interior of the capacitor to the exterior. The ends of the core assembly extend outwardly beyond the terminals for radiating heat to the exterior of the capacitor thereby increasing the current carrying capacity of the capacitor. The core assembly includes separated metal portions secured to an electrically nonconductive portion. Cover seals may be positioned over the ends of the core assembly in contact with the terminals. The capacitor may be hermetically sealed. The metal portions and the electrically nonconductive portion may be hollow tubes forming a passageway through the entire length through the core assembly.
