Abstract
Abstract Terminal units for metallized capacitors. A capacitor utilizing metallized dielectric layers is convolutely wound into a compact unit having a pair of regions represented by metallized layers separated by the dielectric. Each transverse end of the convolutely wound layers provide a region for making electrical contact thereto. Sturdy terminal units having predetermined geometry are coupled to the segregated metallized regions, the terminal units adapting the capacitor for use with automatic insertion equipment and reflow soldering techniques.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
In metallized convolutely wound capacitors having a pair of electrodes at the ends thereof, the electrodes being metallized electrical regions separated by a suitable dielectric, electrical terminals for the capacitor comprising a pair of metallic contact members each defining a uniform planar surface, each of said contact members being connected to one of the electrical regions of the metallized capacitor normal to the longitudinal axis thereof, each of said contact members having a base member and a pair of equal side members, said side members depending from opposite ends of said base member and being folded upon themselves and defining an interval between the terminus thereof which is less than the length of said base member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
In metallized convolutely wound capacitors having a pair of electrodes at the ends thereof, the electrodes being metallized electrical regions separated by a suitable dielectric, electrical terminals for the capacitor comprising a pair of metallic contact members each defining a uniform planar surface, each of said contact members being connected to one of the electrical regions of the metallized capacitor normal to the longitudinal axis thereof, each of said contact members having a base member and a pair of equal side members, said side members depending from opposite ends of said base member and being folded upon themselves and defining an interval between the terminus thereof which is less than the length of said base member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
Terminals as defined in claim 1 wherein said base members are parallel to each other, and define a plane which is uniformly spaced from the longitudinal axis of the metallic capacitor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
122 words
A convolutely wound metallized capacitor having a pair of separate, electrode regions at the axial ends thereof for making contact thereto, the axial ends being normal to the longitudinal axis of the metallic capacitor, first and second metallic contact members each comprising a base member and a pair of equal side members, each of said side members depending from opposite ends of said base member and being folded upon themselves forming a planar surface, the interval between the terminus of said members being less than said base member the side members of each of said first and second metallic contact members being connected to one of the axial ends of the metallic capacitor normal to the longitudinal axis of the metallic capacitor.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
122 words
A convolutely wound metallized capacitor having a pair of separate, electrode regions at the axial ends thereof for making contact thereto, the axial ends being normal to the longitudinal axis of the metallic capacitor, first and second metallic contact members each comprising a base member and a pair of equal side members, each of said side members depending from opposite ends of said base member and being folded upon themselves forming a planar surface, the interval between the terminus of said members being less than said base member the side members of each of said first and second metallic contact members being connected to one of the axial ends of the metallic capacitor normal to the longitudinal axis of the metallic capacitor.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
Terminal units as defined in claim 3 wherein said base members are parallel to each other and define a planar surface which is uniformly spaced from the longitudinal axis of the metallic capacitor.
