Abstract: A wet tantalum electrolytic capacitor containing a cathode, fluidic working electrolyte, and anode formed from an anodically oxidized sintered porous tantalum pellet is described. The pellet is formed from a pressed tantalum powder. The tantalum powder is formed by reacting a tantalum oxide compound, for example, tantalum pentoxide, with a reducing agent that contains a metal having an oxidation state of 2 or more, for example, magnesium. The resulting tantalum powder is nodular or angular and has a specific charge that ranges from about 9,000 μF*V/g to about 11,000 μF*V/g. Using this powder, wet tantalum electrolytic capacitors have breakdown voltages that ranges from about 340 volts to about 450 volts. This makes the electrolytic capacitors ideal for use in an implantable medical device.

Abstract: An electrolyte for activating an electrolytic or electrochemical capacitor is described. The electrolyte preferably includes a mixed solvent of water and ethylene glycol having an ammonium salt dissolved therein. An acid such as phosphoric or acetic acid is used to provide a pH of about 3 to 6. The electrolyte is particularly useful for activating a ruthenium oxide/tantalum capacitor having an anode breakdown voltage in the range of 175 to 300 volts.

Abstract: A capacitor having an anode of a pressed powder pellet is described. The pressed powder anode pellet has a contoured trough that extends inwardly into the height of the pellet from a peripheral edge of the pellet. A shaped anode wire has an embedded portion residing inside the pellet and an outwardly extending portion that is connected to the terminal pin of a feedthrough. The feedthrough is nested in the contoured trough. In order to prevent a crack from rendering the anode inoperable, the embedded portion of the anode wire is shaped to bridge the lateral extent of the contoured trough. Should a crack develop in the anode, the crack will intersect the embedded portion of the anode wire. As an embedded bridging wire structure, the crack in the anode pellet will not cause the shaped anode wire to break. Instead, the shaped anode wire provides electrical continuity from one side of the crack to the other so that the capacitor remains functional.

Abstract: A capacitor for powering an implantable medical device is described. The capacitor includes a casing having contoured surfaces to more closely conform to body contours. This means that the anode housed in the casing must also have a contoured shape substantially matching that of the casing. Accordingly, the anode is comprised of a pressed pellet having a surrounding peripheral edge extending to spaced-apart first and second major face walls. An anode lead wire comprises an embedded portion extending into the anode pellet. First and second channel-shaped recesses aligned with each other extend into the anode pellet from the first and second major face walls to intersect with the embedded lead wire portion. The first and second channel-shaped recesses also extend to opposed locations at the surrounding peripheral edge of the anode pellet. The anode pellet is bent at the aligned first and second channel-shaped recesses to provide a right anode pellet portion electrically connected to a left anode pellet portion by the embedded lead wire portion. The thusly contoured anode pellet has an anatomical shape that matches that of the contoured casing to provide an implantable capacitor that is volumetrically efficient.
