Abstract:
A non-polar tantalum capacitor, comprising:a first polar tantalum capacitor unit, wherein said first capacitor unit is characterized by a first end and a second end; a second polar tantalum capacitor unit, wherein said second capacitor unit is also characterized by a first end and a second end; cathode portions integral with said first end of said first capacitor unit and with said first end of said second capacitor unit and wherein said cathode portion may be utilized for electrical attachment to the capacitor; a first anode rod extending from said second end of said first capacitor unit; a second anode rod extending from said second end of said second capacitor unit; wherein said first and second anode rods are bent at a distance from said second ends of said first and second capacitor units to extend towards each other and are connected to each other to form a joined anode element; a first insulating material situated between said first and second capacitor units; and a second insulating material encapsulating said anode element.
