Patent ID: 8379372

Claim:
A capacitor assembly comprising: a housing comprising a base extending in a lateral direction and a lid that overlies the base to define an interior cavity therebetween, wherein the lid contains an outer wall and a sidewall extending in a longitudinal direction from the outer wall toward the base, wherein a lip extends from the sidewall at an angle relative to the longitudinal direction and is hermetically sealed to the base, the lip having a peripheral edge located beyond a periphery of the sidewall; a capacitor element that is positioned within the interior cavity and connected to the base of the housing, the capacitor element comprising an anode formed from an anodically oxidized, sintered porous body and a solid electrolyte overlying the anode; an anode termination that is in electrical connection with the anode body; and a cathode termination that is in electrical connection with the solid electrolyte.
