Abstract
Abstract A voltage-multiplier assembly in which a network of solid-state diodes and capacitors are wired together and held securely at separated positions by an insulating matrix having upper and lower rows of spaced tines which define bays for accommodating the capacitors, the tines in the upper row being displaced with respect to the tines in the lower row whereby the capacitors in the bays are in staggered relation. The diodes connected to the capacitors in the bays are protectively embedded in the tines.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
93 words
An assembly for an active circuit formed by solid-state elements which require substantial electrical separation to avoid voltage flash-over, said assembly including a matrix formed of an insulating material having a central core, a first row of equispaced upper tines extending laterally from one side of the core and a second row of equispaced tines extending laterally from the other side of the core at positions which are staggered relative to the Upper tines, said elements being embedded in said tines, and terminal pins mounted on said tines and connected to said elements.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
93 words
An assembly for an active circuit formed by solid-state elements which require substantial electrical separation to avoid voltage flash-over, said assembly including a matrix formed of an insulating material having a central core, a first row of equispaced upper tines extending laterally from one side of the core and a second row of equispaced tines extending laterally from the other side of the core at positions which are staggered relative to the Upper tines, said elements being embedded in said tines, and terminal pins mounted on said tines and connected to said elements.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
An assembly as set forth in claim 1, wherein said elements are silicon diodes.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
An assembly as set forth in claim 1, wherein said active circuit is a voltage multiplier whose circuit is constituted by a network of solid-state diode elements and capacitors, the capacitors being connected between said pins and being inserted in the bays defined by said tines.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
An assembly as set forth in claim 3, wherein said capacitors are encased in plastic wafers whose thickness substantially corresponds to the width of the bays.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
83 words
An assembly for an active circuit formed by solid-state elements which require substantial electrical separation to avoid voltage flashover, said assembly including a matrix formed of an insulating material having a central core, a first row of equispaced upper tines extending laterally from one side of the core and a second row of equispaced tines extending laterally from the other side of the core, said elements being embedded in said tines, and terminal pins mounted on said tines and connected to said elements.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
83 words
An assembly for an active circuit formed by solid-state elements which require substantial electrical separation to avoid voltage flashover, said assembly including a matrix formed of an insulating material having a central core, a first row of equispaced upper tines extending laterally from one side of the core and a second row of equispaced tines extending laterally from the other side of the core, said elements being embedded in said tines, and terminal pins mounted on said tines and connected to said elements.
