The present invention is related to improvements in busbar pads. In particular, a problem exist in the art wherein the connection between the busbar and spray layer connection is weak. This problem is solved by using a busbar pad design with a special curvature.
It is an object of the invention to provide an improved electrical component.
It is another object of the invention to provide an improved method for forming an electrical component.
These and other advantages, as will be realized, are provided in a busbar pad comprising a busbar surface with a concave curvature.
Yet another advantage is provided in a capacitor comprising a conductive film, a conductive spray layer on the conductive film and a busbar in electrical contact with the conductive spray layer wherein the busbar comprises a concave curvature.
The present invention is related to an improved busbar for connection to a metal spray layer of an electrical component. More specifically, the present invention is related to a busbar with concave curvature.
The invention will be described with reference to the various figures which form an integral, non-limiting component of the invention.
A front view of an inventive busbar is shown with concave curvature in
A cross-cut of a welded busbar pad with concave curvature is shown in
Just flux also would improve the welding connection but the curvature provides a boundary so that the Sn is kept more in the region under the pad and not spattered somewhere else.
The plastic film is a conductor of a capacitor and is not otherwise limited herein. Capacitor cores utilizing plastic film conductors are well known to those of skill in the art and further description is not necessary herein.
The invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments without limit thereto. One of skill in the art would realize additional embodiments and improvements which are not specifically enumerated herein but which are within the scope of the invention as set forth in the claims appended hereto.
