Abstract
This invention discloses a mold design which limits the maximum pressure that can be developed inside a closed cavity containing a polarized ceramic as a result of the volume expansion of the molding compound during the curing cycle. The pressure control is achieved by interposing a spring member between the mold and the pressure source which closes the mold. The spring will deflect slightly to absorb any volume expansion of the molding compound during the curing cycle, thus preventing any significant increase in pressure in the cavity and thereby preventing depolarization of the ceramic.
