Abstract
A capacitor assembly that is capable of performing well under the conditions of high humidity (e.g., 60% relative humidity) is provided. The capacitor assembly comprises a solid electrolytic capacitor element that contains a sintered porous anode body, a dielectric that overlies the anode body, and a solid electrolyte that overlies the dielectric. An anode termination is in electrical connection with the anode body and a cathode termination is in electrical connection with the solid electrolyte. A first coating is disposed on at least a portion of the anode termination that contains an organometallic compound and a second coating is disposed on at least a portion of the cathode termination that contains an organometallic compound. Further, a casing material encapsulates the capacitor element and leaves exposed a mounting surface of the anode termination and the cathode termination.
