Abstract
A contact sleeve passing through a central region of a capacitor provides a low-inductance connection between a lower contact surface of a capacitor and a first outer port. The sleeve is separated from the windings of the capacitor by an insulative layer. A second outer port is formed in close proximity to and insulated from the first outer port so that arcing between the outer ports is prevented. The resulting capacitor has a low inductance and is useful in, for example, the intermediate circuit design of converters, resulting in a compact and reliable configuration.
