Abstract

A method of assembling a capacitor assembly comprises positioning a plurality of capacitors in respective sockets formed in a non-conductive matrix by vibrating the plurality of capacitors and disposing the array of capacitors and the non-conductive matrix between a positive terminal plate and a negative terminal plate. The capacitors are electrically coupled with the positive terminal plate and the negative terminal plate and mechanically secured between the positive terminal plate and the negative terminal plate. The array of capacitors includes a void cooperating with a first opening in the positive plate and a second opening in the negative plate to form a passage. The void includes a location where at least one capacitor is omitted from the array.
