Patent ID: 8081419

Claim:
A capacitor, which comprises: a) a casing; b) a junction bar comprising a conductive material and at least a first groove, a second groove, and a third groove; c) an anode assembly comprising: i) at least a first anode including a first conductive anode lead electrically connected to the first junction bar groove, and ii) a second anode including a second conductive anode lead electrically connected to the second junction bar groove; d) a terminal anode lead having a length extending from a proximal terminal anode lead portion electrically connected to the third junction bar groove to a distal terminal anode lead portion, wherein at least the distal terminal anode lead portion has a substantially circular cross-section perpendicular to its length where it is sealed in an insulating glass of a glass-to-metal seal that electrically insulates the first and second anode leads and the terminal anode lead from the casing with a distal end of the distal terminal anode lead portion extending out beyond the insulating glass and the casing; e) a cathode comprising a conductive substrate supporting a cathode active material facing the first and second anodes; f) a separator positioned between the first and second anodes and the cathodes to prevent them from contacting each other; and g) a working electrolyte contained inside the casing.
