Method and apparatus for capacitor interconnection using a metal spray
First Claim
1. A capacitor stack, including a first element having at least one first anode and at least one first cathode and a second element having at least one second anode and at least one second cathode, the capacitor stack formed by the process comprising:
- aligning the first element and the second element so that a first anode edge face of the first anode and a second anode edge face of the second anode form an anode connection surface for electrical connection of the first anode and the second anode; and
spraying metal on the anode connection surface to electrically connect the first anode and the second anode.

Abstract
The present subject matter includes a capacitor stack having a first element having at least one first anode and at least one first cathode and a second element having at least one second anode and at least one second cathode. The capacitor stack is formed by the process of aligning the first element and the second element so that a first anode edge face of the first anode and a second anode edge face of the second anode form an anode connection surface for electrical connection of the first anode and the second anode. Additionally, the capacitor stack is formed by spraying metal on the anode connection surface to electrically connect the first anode and the second anode.

15. A method, comprising:
-
forming a first element by stacking a first anode and a first cathode, the first element having a first anode edge face;
forming a second element by stacking the second anode and the second cathode, the second element having a second anode edge face for electrical connection to the first anode edge face;
stacking the first element and the second element;
aligning the first anode edge face with the second anode edge face, the alignment defining an anode connection surface; and
spraying metal onto the anode connection surface to form a weld, the weld connecting the first anode and the second anode and forming a capacitor stack. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
