Abstract
Abstract An electrical assembly wherein components are connected by resilient coils of electrically conductive exposed wire turns. Various components can be coaxially stacked on such coils and interconnected by other components via leads inserted between the wire turns. A housing is provided resiliently supporting components by such coils and the components can be secured by material within the housing having a coefficient of thermal expansion and contraction vastly differing from that of the components. In particular embodiments, capacitors are stacked so that their voltage gradients are in the same direction and are interconnected by diodes so as to constitute a voltage multiplier.
