Capacitors for high voltage charge and high current discharge rates

摘要

A capacitor including: a first conductive plate; a second conductive pate arranged parallel to the first conductive plate to define a spacing between a surface of the first conductive plate and an opposing surface of the second conductive plate; a dielectric material disposed in the plate; and a capacitor lead connected to one of the first and second conductive plates at a connection region; wherein a thickness of the space is varied in the connection region.
