Abstract
An integrated capacitor assembly that offers improved performance characteristics in a convenient and space-saving package is provided. More specifically, the capacitor assembly contains a first solid electrolytic capacitor element and second solid electrolytic capacitor element positioned adjacent to the first solid electrolytic capacitor element. The first and second solid electrolytic capacitor elements each contain an anode formed from a valve metal composition having a specific charge of about 70,000 μF*V/g or more, the anode having a thickness of from about 0.1 to about 4 millimeters. A thermally conductive material is positioned between the first and second solid electrolytic capacitor elements and electrically connected thereto. The thermally conductive material has a coefficient of thermal conductivity of about 100 W/m-K or more at a temperature of 20° C. A case encapsulates the first and second solid electrolytic capacitor elements.
