Low impedance multiple electrolytic capacitor assembly

摘要

Each of at least four electrolytic capacitor packages contains a convolutely wound valve-metal foil capacitor section having package leads connected to tabs that contact the foils in a central region thereof. The package leads extend from one face of each package, and are threaded through holes in a double-sided printed wiring board that serves as a stripline. The anode leads are connected to one metal face of the stripline and the cathode leads to the other, the metal on each face of the stripline covering a major portion of the insulating board. This combination of simple centrally connected foil-type capacitors being connected by means of very short leads to a stripline provides a low impedance multiple capacitor assembly having good high frequency performance and low cost.
