End connections for wound capacitors and methods of making the same.

摘要

A wound capacitor end connection is constructed by spraying a first layer of metal (14) onto one end of a capacitor winding (12), positioning strands of a stranded conductor (18) adjacent to the first layer (14), without mechanically securing the strands (20) to the first layer (14), and spraying a second layer of metal (14) over the strands (20) and first layer (14) to mechanically and electrically connect the strands (20) to the first layer (14).
