    Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor that comprises a sintered porous anode, a dielectric layer that overlies the anode body, and a solid electrolyte overlying the dielectric layer is provided. The anode is formed from a finely divided powder (e.g., nodular or angular) having a relatively high specific charge. Despite the use of such high specific charge powders, high voltages can be achieved through a combination of features relating to the formation of the anode and solid electrolyte. For example, relatively high press densities and sintering temperatures may be employed to achieve “sinter necks” between adjacent agglomerated particles that are relatively large in size, which render the dielectric layer in the vicinity of the neck less susceptible to failure at high forming voltages.

    Abstract: A capacitor assembly for use in ultrahigh voltage environments is provided. To help achieve good performance at such high voltages, a variety of aspects of the assembly are controlled in the present invention, including the number of capacitor elements, the manner in which the capacitor elements are arranged and incorporated into the assembly, and the manner in which the capacitor elements are formed. For example, the capacitor assembly contains an anode termination to which the anode lead of a first capacitor element is electrically connected and a cathode termination to which the cathode of a second capacitor element is electrically connected. To help improve the breakdown voltage properties of the assembly, the capacitor elements are electrically connected in series such that the anode lead of the second capacitor element is also electrically connected to the cathode of the first capacitor element via a conductive member.

    Abstract: A capacitor for use in relatively high voltage environments is provided. During formation, anodization may be carried out in a manner so that the dielectric layer possesses a relatively thick portion that overlies an external surface of the anode and a relatively thin portion that overlies an interior surface of the anode. In addition to employing a dielectric layer with a differential thickness, the solid electrolyte is also formed from the combination of pre-polymerized conductive polymer particles and a hydroxy-functional nonionic polymer.

    Abstract: A capacitor assembly for use in high voltage and high temperature environments is provided. More particularly, the capacitor assembly includes a solid electrolytic capacitor element containing an anode body, a dielectric overlying the anode, and a solid electrolyte overlying the dielectric. To help facilitate the use of the capacitor assembly in high voltage applications, it is generally desired that the solid electrolyte is formed from a dispersion of preformed conductive polymer particles. In this manner, the electrolyte may remain generally free of high energy radicals (e.g., Fe2+ or Fe3+ ions) that can lead to dielectric degradation, particularly at relatively high voltages (e.g., above about 60 volts). Furthermore, to help protect the stability of the solid electrolyte at high temperatures, the capacitor element is enclosed and hermetically sealed within a housing in the presence of a gaseous atmosphere that contains an inert gas. It is believed that the housing and inert gas atmosphere are capable of limiting the amount of oxygen and moisture supplied to the conductive polymer of the capacitor. In this manner, the solid electrolyte is less likely to undergo a reaction in high temperature environments, thus increasing the thermal stability of the capacitor assembly. In addition to functioning well in both high voltage and high temperature environments, the capacitor assembly of the present invention may also exhibit a high volumetric efficiency.
