Abstract
An electrical capacitor is formed which relies on a thin dielectric layer which is metallized on both sides to provide electrode areas to provide the major part of the capacitance of the capacitor. An unmetallized margin area runs along one side of the dielectric layer along one longitudinal edge of the dielectric layer and an unmetallized margin area runs along the other side of the dielectric layer along the opposite longitudinal edge dimension of the dielectric layer. A pleated capacitor section is formed by pleating, or folding, the dielectric layer along its longitudinal dimension. This pleated capacitor segment is incorporated into an initial portion of the capacitor formed of two metal foil electrodes and a separating dielectric layer which are wound about the leads of the capacitor.
