A capacitor and a method for assembling a capacitor. A capacitor is assembled from a case, which contains an anode that is electrically insulated from the case by isolators. A washer is placed above the anode. This washer transfers force from a capacitor cap to the isolators and anode, securing the anode in place. A cap is placed on the case. The cap may be shaped as a toroid with an outer and an inner annular wall. The annular walls may meet at the top and have an opening at the bottom creating a cap cavity in order to store electrolyte or other materials in the cap. The cap also supports a glass seal that insulates the lead tube and lead wire coming from the anode. Once assembled, the capacitor is filled with electrolyte. A weld extends around the cap to secure the cap to the case. The weld may be administered from the top of the capacitor.
