Multiple electronic components: combination capacitor and Zener diode
View Patent ↗A Zener diode-capacitor combination wherein a Zener diode is mounted in the capacitor body and connected in parallel with the capacitor after the capacitor has been voltage tested. A welded strap or jumper wire completing the diode circuit or a connection of separate terminations during soldering may be used to complete the circuit.
1. A method for manufacturing an electronic device comprising:
providing multiple electronic components in a single molded case;
providing a first cathode or anode connection which is a common connection;
providing a second anode or cathode connections which are mutually separate connections;
burning in and testing each of the components separately; and
connecting said multiple electronic components in parallel after said burning in and testing.
2. A method according to claim 1 wherein the electronic components are a capacitor and Zener diode.
3. A method for manufacturing an electronic device comprising:
providing a capacitor and Zener diode in a single molded case;
providing a first cathode or anode connection which is a common connection;
providing a second anode or cathode connections which are mutually separate connections;
burning in and testing each of the components separately; and
connecting said capacitor and Zener diode in parallel.
4. The method for manufacturing an electronic device of claim 3 comprising connecting said capacitor and Zener diode in parallel after said burning in and testing.
