Abstract
A capacitor includes a pellet molded within a protective material and having a cathode termination surface at one end and an anode wire extending from the other end. The cathode termination surface is centered with respect to the longitudinal axis of the capacitor. The method includes centering the pellet body and a tear drop shaped conductive cathode element within a mold and molding a protective coating around them. After the molding is complete a portion of the tear drop shaped member is removed to create a cathode termination.
