Abstract

A capacitor carrier assembly includes a carrier, a capacitor disposed in the carrier and electrically conductive connection terminals that support the carrier with respect to another electronic component or device such as a printed circuit board. Each connection terminal has a body portion that is electrically connected to one capacitor lead of the pair of capacitor leads at a connection location, and a device connection portion that protrudes from the carrier. Leads of the capacitor and the connection locations are encapsulated by wall structures of the carrier.
