Abstract
A metal termination is formed at the end of a wound capacitor section by rotating the section while spraying a molten metal. A shield plate is placed between the spray nozzle and a portion of the section end so that each incremental surface region of the section end being sprayed is shielded from the molten metal spray during part of each period of rotation. This causes a periodic cooling of each surface region of the section end during spraying so that any desired thickness of termination may be quickly deposited without risk of damaging the section end which may contain plastic or paper dielectric sheet materials that are easily deformed or dissintegrated by conventional molten metal spraying methods.
