A capacitor and capacitor assemblies are provided, configured to prevent damage from shock and/or vibration. A capacitor assembly according to the invention comprises an anode plate having an anode plate wire extending from a surface of the anode plate. An anode wire holder is positioned around at least a portion of the anode plate wire. A wire separator comprising a channel is provided, at least a portion of the anode plate wire received within the channel. Methods of forming capacitors and capacitor assemblies are also provided.

Hermetically sealed high energy electrolytic capacitor and capacitor assemblies with improved shock and vibration performance

An electrolytic capacitor includes a metal case, a porous pellet anode disposed within the metal case, an electrolyte disposed within the metal case, and a cathode element formed of an electrophoretically deposited metal or metal oxide powder of a uniform thickness disposed within the metal case and surrounding the anode. A method of manufacturing an electrolytic capacitor includes providing a metal case, electrophoretically depositing on the metal can a refractory metal oxide to form a cathode element, and placing a porous pellet anode and an electrolyte within the can such that the cathode element and the anode element being separated by the electrolyte.
