Abstract
The disclosure relates to an electrical component with low impedance over a range of high frequency input signals. The electrical component comprises a dielectric film-forming metal anode with an anode lead projecting from the anode, electrolyte contacting the surfaces of the anode to form a body, and a cathode lead contacting the body and substantially parallel to the plane of the anode lead. Preferably, the length of the anode lead and the cathode lead are a minimum as well as is the distance between the anode lead and the cathode lead in order to help reduce the impedance of the electrical component over a range of high frequency input signals. Surfaces of the body are at an angle with respect to each other. The cathode lead includes an elongated strip of electrically conducting material projecting from the body and a surface of the strip is joined to one or more of the surfaces of the body at an angle with respect to each other. Preferably, the elongated strip of the cathode lead is joined to one of the surface of the body. An example of an electrical component body is a solid tantalum capacitor.
