Claim 18:
19. A method for forming an overmolded film capacitor comprising:
forming a working element comprising a first film layer with a first conductive layer on said first film layer and a second film layer with a second conductive layer on said second film layer wherein said first conductive layer and said second conductive layer form a capacitive couple;
forming a first lead in electrical contact with said first conductive layer and a second lead in electrical contact with said second conductive layer;
forming an inner overmold encasing said working element; and
forming an overmold directly on and encasing said inner overmold wherein said overmold on said working element wherein said overmold comprises a thermoplastic resin with a Youngs Modulus of 0.1-5 GPa and wherein said first lead and said second lead extend from said overmolding, and
wherein said overmold comprises an inner overmold encasing said working element and an outer overmold encasing said inner mold.
