Abstract
A capacitor for an implantable cardiac defibrillator with a housing defining a chamber. A plurality of flat, stacked, charge storing layers reside within the chamber. Each of the layers includes at least a first and a second electrically conductive sheets separated by a sheet in between. The first sheet is electrically connected to the housing, and the second sheet is electrically isolated from the housing. The layers each have a periphery having at least one alignment element, with the second sheet extending to the periphery along at least a portion of the alignment element, such that the layers may be engaged at the alignment element to register the layers during assembly.
