PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a capacitor assembly including a conductive polymer electrolytic capacitor.SOLUTION: A capacitor assembly is provided which includes a conductive polymer electrolytic capacitor that is enclosed and hermetically sealed within a ceramic housing in the presence of an inert gas. Without intending to be limited by theory, the present inventors believe that the ceramic housing is capable of limiting the amount of oxygen and moisture supplied to the conductive polymer of the capacitor. In this manner, the conductive polymer is less likely to oxidize in high temperature environments, thereby increasing the thermal stability of the capacitor assembly. |
