Patent ID: 6967829

Claim:
A capacitor assembly, which comprises: a) a first capacitor having a first anode and a first cathode operatively associated with each other by an electrolyte contained inside a first casing, wherein one of the first anode and the first cathode is connected to a first lead extending outside the first casing and insulated therefrom and the other of the first anode and the first cathode is connected to the first casing and a first terminal pin for the first capacitor; b) a second capacitor having a second anode and a second cathode operatively associated with each other by an electrolyte contained inside a second casing, wherein the one of the second anode and the second cathode that is of the opposite polarity as that of the first anode and the first cathode connected to the first lead is connected to the second casing and the other of the second anode and the second cathode is connected to a second lead extending outside the second casing and insulated therefrom; and c) a first connector providing electrical connection from the first terminal pin of the first capacitor to the second lead of the second capacitor to thereby electrically connect the first and second capacitors in series.
