The present invention relates to a wet electrolytic capacitor (10) comprising an anode, anode wire (220), an electrolyte, a housing (12) having a wall that defines an anode wire port (34), and an sealing assembly (300). The seal assembly (300) is connected to the housing (12) at the anode wire port (34), and a portion of the anode wire (220) extends therethrough . The seal assembly (300) includes an insulating tube (306), a metal plate (301), and an elastomeric ring (311). The tube receives the anode wire (220) and has a first portion extending through the anode wire port (34) and a second portion located within an interior of the housing (12). The plate is adjacent to an outer surface (27) of the wall, covers the anode wire port (34), and contains an orifice. The ring is positioned adjacent an inner surface of the wall and contains an orifice. |
