Abstract:
A method of forming a dielectric component, such as a capacitor is disclosed. In such a method, a conductive surface is applied to a dielectric to form a coated dielectric. Then a portion of the conductive surface is removed from the coated dielectric to form at least two electrically isolated conductive areas.
Abstract:
Electrically conductive devices and methods of making such devices are disclosed. One such device has a fusible conductor and a substrate. The substrate may support the fusible conductor. The substrate may have an outer perimeter and within the outer perimeter the substrate may have a heat-transfer-resisting material-deficient portion proximate to the fusible conductor.
Abstract:
The invention includes an electromagnetic filter for a feedthrough conductor, and a method of making such a filter. At least two dielectric components are supported from a first side of a substrate, such as a housing or a printed circuit board. At least one of the dielectric components is associated with a failsafe link.
