Abstract

Capacitor bodies are usually carried in open ended containers. The open ends are then closed with a cover or capacitor top after the capacitor body is inserted in the container. Electrical leads are then attached to terminals carried by the capacitor top. Prior art methods of forming such tops involved insert molding. The present invention starts with a preformed plastic disc with two apertures for terminals and a boss for positioning lead attachment. The terminals and a positioning lead are then applied to the disc through a combination of riveting and ultrasonic swaging.
