Abstract:
1. A capacitor, which comprises: a) a first casing portion comprising a first casing face wall supporting a first surrounding casing sidewall and a second casing portion comprising a second casing face wall, wherein the first casing portion is securable to the second casing portion to provide an enclosure for the capacitor; b) a cathode active material supported by, and in electrical contact with, the first and second casing face walls; c) an anode comprising an anode sidewall extending to first and second major anode face walls positioned adjacent to the cathode active material on the first and second casing face walls; d) a separator positioned intermediate the anode and the cathode active material on the first and second casing face walls; e) a glass-to-metal seal supported in at least one of the first and second casing portions to electrically insulate the anode lead from the enclosure serving as the cathode terminal; f) at least one restraint contacting the anode sidewall to prevent the anode from moving inside the enclosure when the capacitor is subjected to shock and vibration forces; and g) a working electrolyte provided in the enclosure in contact with the anode and cathode active material.
