A connection () is provided between a conductive substrate, in the form of a planar aluminium terminal (), and a laminate (). The laminate has a first plastics layer, in the form of a polymer layer (), that is secured to terminal () and a conductive aluminium layer () disposed outwardly from and adjacent to layer (). The layers () terminate at a common circular edge () that defines an opening () that overlies terminal (). The connection () includes an insulator in the form of a grommet () that extends over edge () for electrically insulating layer () from terminal ().

Connection between a conductive substrate and a laminate

A surface mount energy storage device in the form of a supercapacitor () includes a generally rectangular folded prismatic housing () and two energy storage elements (not shown) that are sealingly contained within the housing () and which are connected in series. A mount, in the form of an integrally formed tinned metal frame (), extends about and captively retains housing () in the folded configuration shown. Two terminals, in the form of elongate contacts () extend from the energy storage elements and terminate outside housing () for allowing external electrical connection to the elements.
