Abstract
A solid electrolyte film-forming capacitor is provided which includes an electroplated conductive layer over the capacitor. The electroplated layer provides greater resistance to mechanical shock and allows the welding of a cathode termination means to the electroplated layer of the capactior. Also provided is a method for electroplating the capacitor which includes placing an electroprocessed capacitor in an electroplating vessel which contains a plating source and electroplating solution, providing a voltage source and connecting the positive terminal of the voltage source to the anode side of the capacitor and to the plating source and the negative terminal of the voltage source to a conducting layer on the anode body, and then electroplating a layer containing metal over the capacitor.
