    • Implantable medical devices (IMDs) and their various components, including flat electrolytic capacitors for same, and methods of making and using same, particularly a simplified, miniature capacitor connector block and wiring harness utilizing an epoxy droplet and method of making same are disclosed. An electrode stack assembly and electrolyte are located within the interior cas e chamber of a hermetically sealed capacitor case. The electrode stack compris es a plurality of capacitor layers stacked in registration upon one another, ea ch capacitor layer comprising a cathode layer having a cathode tab, an anode su b- assembly comprising at least one anode layer having an anode tab, and a separator layer located between adjacent anode and cathode layers, whereby a ll adjacent cathode layers and anode layers of the stack are electrically insulated from one another by a separator layer. Anode terminal means extend through the capacitor case side wall for electrically connecting a plurality of the anode tabs to one another and providing an anode connection terminal at the exterior of the case. Cathode terminal means extend through or to an encapsulation area of the capacitor case side wall for electrically connecti ng a plurality of the cathode tabs to one another and providing a cathode connection terminal at the exterior of the case. A connector assembly is electrically attached to the anode connection terminal for making electrical connection with the anode tabs and to the cathode connection terminal for making electrical connection with the cathode tabs. A connector block is formed of an epoxy droplet adhered to the encapsulation area of the capacito r side wall surrounding and encapsulating the anode and cathode connection terminals and the electrical connections with the connector assembly. The connector block is formed on an encapsulation area of the case side wall of epoxy that is cured for a period of time under elevatedtemperature condition s while rotating the capacitor assembly.

    • Flat electrolytic capacitors, particularly, for use in implantable medical devices (IMDs), and the methods of fabrication of same are disclosed. The capacitors are formed with an electrode stack assembly comprising a pluralit y of stacked capacitor layers each comprising an anode sub-assembly of at leas t one anode layer, a cathode layer and separator layers wherein the anode and cathode layers have differing dimensions that avoid electrical short circuit s between peripheral edges of adjacent anode and cathode layers but maximize anode electrode surface area. The electrolytic capacitor is formed of a capacitor case defining an interior case chamber and case chamber periphery, an electrode stack assembly of a plurality of stacked capacitor layers havin g anode and cathode tabs disposed in the interior case chamber, an electrical connector assembly for providing electrical connection with the anode and cathode tabs through the case, a cover, and electrolyte filling the remainin g space within the interior case chamber. The plurality of capacitor layers an d further separator layers are stacked into the electrode stack assembly and disposed within the interior case chamber such that the adjacent anode and cathode layers are electrically isolated form one another. The anode layer peripheral edges of the anode sub-assemblies of the stacked capacitor layers extend closer to the case side wall than the cathode peripheral edges of the cathode layers of the stack of capacitor layers throughout a major portion o f the case chamber periphery. The separator layer peripheral edges extend to t he case periphery and space the anode layer peripheral edges therefrom. Any burrs, debris or distortions along or of any of the anode layer peripheral edges causing the anode layer edges to effectively extend in the electrode stack height direction causes the anode layer peripheral edges having such tendency to contact an adjacent anode layer. In this way, anode layer surfac e area is maximized, and short circuiting of the anode layers with the cathode layers is avoided. A case liner can also be disposed around the electrode stack assembly periphery.
