An electrolytic filter capacitor of wound elongate electrode foils and an electrolyte in a separator between the foils has very low effective series resistance and inductance by virtue of particular terminal connections to the foils. A pair of wires extend across and are joined to the foils, respectively, at corresponding locations along the wound elongated foils; the ends of the wires extend oppositely to provide four terminals for the two foils, an oppositely poled pair of terminals at each end of the capacitor.

Electrolytic capacitors

The disclosed electrolytic capacitors have an end-seal and a terminal at an end of a case containing an electrolytic capacitor section. A metal-disc barrier between the electrode assembly and the end-seal is retained in the case by a formation of the case for preventing expulsion of the electrode assembly upon occurrence of an internal pressure great enough to blow the end-seal out of its case-sealing position.
