Abstract
A method of conformally coating a capacitor with an epoxy layer of the present invention is used to coat the capacitor using fluidized bed techniques. The method includes the use of a chiller bar which is placed against the cathode surface of a capacitor slug which has been heated to 150.degree. C. The capacitor slug and chiller bar are then dipped into the fluidized bed of epoxy powder. The epoxy powder will melt to the capacitor slug on all surfaces except the surface in contact with the chiller bar. After removing the capacitor slug and chiller bar from the fluidized bed and separating the chiller bar from the capacitor, the capacitor will be coated with a layer of epoxy coating on all surfaces except the cathode surface.
