Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This document provides an apparatus including a sintered electrode, a second electrode and a separator material arranged in a capacitive stack. A conductive interconnect couples the sintered electrode and the second electrode. Embodiments include a clip interconnect. In some embodiments, the interconnect includes a comb-shaped connector. In some embodiments, the interconnect includes a wire snaked between adjacent sintered substrates.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An apparatus, comprising: an electrode including a sintered material deposited on a conductive substrate, the conductive substrate having a substrate flexibility greater than a material flexibility of the material, the substrate including a substrate connection portion; a separator disposed in a capacitor stack in alignment with the electrode; a second electrode disposed in the capacitor stack in alignment, the second electrode including a connection portion; and a conductive interconnect physically and electrically coupling the substrate connection portion and the connection portion of the second electrode, the substrate connection portion and the connection portion of the second electrode each adapted to deform to accommodate displacement of the electrode with respect to the second electrode.
