Abstract
An aluminum electrolytic capacitor with an aluminum housing defining a chamber, and having a feed-through aperture providing communication with the chamber from outside of the housing. A number of aluminum anode layers are positioned within the chamber, and a feed-through member formed of a first conductive material occupies the feed-through aperture. The feed-through member has an inner end extending into the chamber, an outer end extending externally from the housing, and an insulative sleeve encompassing an intermediate portion of the feed-through member and directly contacting the housing at the feed-through aperture to prevent electrical contact between the feed-through member and the housing. A connection element formed of a second different conductive material is attached to the inner end of feed-through member and spaced apart from the housing. A compressible insulative gasket may be positioned between the housing and the connection element to provide insulation and a fluid seal.
