Method for the manufacture of electrical components especially layer capacitors

Claim 1

Method for the manufacture of layer capacitors with dielectric layers of glow polymerisate, which comprises sawing apart an unmetallized electrically insulating tape having smooth surfaces to form a plurality of separate strip-shaped carriers with smooth surfaces and relatively rough separating surfaces formed by the sawing operation, placing a plurality of the carriers against each other in such manner that their separating surfaces formed by the sawing are exposed, offsetting the carriers relative to each other perpendicularly to the separating surfaces to expose edges of the smooth surfaces of the carriers maintaining the plurality of carriers in the positions achieved by said placing and offsetting operations, while said plurality of carriers are so maintained, coating the two opposite surfaces of the carriers resulting from said separation from the tape and also the exposed edges of the carriers by applying contact layers of a metal which will not soften during later contacting of the metal, and subsequently metallizing a smooth unmetallized surface of each carrier by applying a metal layer thereto which overlaps at least one of the contact layers and forms with the latter an electrically conducting connection.
