Abstract:
Non-aqueous electrolytic solutions suitable for anodizing valve metal derivative anodes, methods of anodizing using non-aqueous electrolytic solutions, and capacitors prepared with non-aqueous electrolytic solutions. The non-aqueous electrolytic solution comprises glycerine and at least one soluble salt formed by the neutralization of at least one non-halogen-containing organic or inorganic acid anion with at least one alkali metal, ammonium, or protonated amine cation; Wherein the acid anion is derived from an acid having a pKa lower than phosphoric acid.
Abstract:
A method of protecting surface mount capacitors (40) from moisture and oxygen corrosion by applying a thermally curable pre-coat resin (48) to a portion of the terminals (41, 43) of a capacitor (40) and encapsulating the capacitor element(s) (42) with a protective resin (46). The pre-coat resin (48) is substantially rigid at ambient temperatures and flexible at elevated temperatures and is preferably a lactone-containing epoxy resin. The pre-coat resin (48) may be applied to a solder coating-free portion (50) of the terminals (41, 43) by brush or wiper prior to encapsulating the capacitor element(s) (42) with the protective resin (46).
Abstract:
A method of anodizing valve metals with a borate polyester solution formed by the combining 2-methyl-1,3-propane diol and boric acid and heating to about 130 to about 160 DEG C. The heating drives off water produced by esterification. A substrate is immersed in the borate polyester electrolyte solution at a temperature of about 25 DEG C to about 85 DEG C and an anodizing voltage is applied.

Abstract:
A therapeutic medical device such as a defibrillator (1), comprising an electrolytic capacitor (9) including an anode, cathode and an electrolyte. The anode is anodized in an electrolyte comprising an aqueous solution of alkanol amine, phosphoric acid and an organic solvent preferably defined by formula 1: CH3-(OCH2CH2)m-OCH3 Formula 1 wherein m is an integer from 3 to 10.
Abstract:
A process for isolating flaw sites in the dielectric of solid electrolytic capacitor comprising immersing a conductive polymer impregnated capacitor in an electrolyte solution, and then alternately subjecting the conductive polymer impregnated capacitor to a high voltage and a low voltage; wherein the high voltage is between about 10 volts and 50 volts, and the low voltage is between about 0 volts and the voltage corresponding to 90 % of the anodization voltage for pellets anodized at less than 20 volts, or the voltage at which the current drops to 50 % of the peak voltage current for pellets anodized at voltages greater than or equal to 20 volts. The period of time at or above the anodization voltage is relatively short to prevent damaging the dielectric film.
Abstract:
A method of preparing a capacitor having at least one porous element comprising applying to the element a masking material with an ink jet printer head. Preferably the masking material is a liquid resin such as an acrylic, a polyurethane, a silicone, or a polyimide.
Abstract:
