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:
Capacitor elements made with a solid polymeric electrolyte show reduced leakage current when reformed at about 60-85% of formation voltage during the impregnation phase between successive layers of polymeric electrolyte.
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° 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° C. to about 85° C. and an anodizing voltage is applied.
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:
Electrolytes containing water, phosphoric acid, at least one organic solvent, and at least one alkanolamine can be used for anodizing valve metals prepared from metal powder having a surface area of least .35 m /g or 35,000 CV/g. The anodizing electrolytes have relatively high conductivity and are capable of being used at high anodizing currents. The anodic film produced by these electrolytes on valve metals is of substantially uniform thickness and has improved electrical parameters.
