Abstract

A capacitor housing includes an electrically conductive cup having a wall and a bottom, and an electrically insulating envelope which substantially covers an exterior of the cup and which includes an opening at a bottom of the cup. The opening is smaller than the bottom of the cup. The capacitor housing also includes a fill element which is substantially heat-conductive and disposed inside the opening and a cover element which is substantially electrically insulating, that covers at least part of the bottom of the cup and overlaps at least part of the envelope.
