A first mold die and a second mold die are moved together and are shaped to define a mold cavity therebetween. A capacitor pellet is positioned within the mold cavity and a plurality of projections extend inwardly to engage the capacitor pellet and hold it spaced away from the cavity side wall. The method comprises placing the pellet body within the cavity molding and retentively engaging the pellet body with a plurality of projections to provide a space between the pellet body and the cavity side wall. A molding material is used to fill the space to provide a coating on the pellet body.
