A capacitor comprises a first winding member, where the first winding member comprises a first dielectric layer and a first conductive layer. A second winding member comprises a second dielectric layer and second conductive layer. The first winding member is interleaved, partially or entirely, with the second winding layer. A dielectric shell or shell is adapted to at least radially contain or border the first winding member and the second winding member. The first winding member is electrically connected to a first conductive end. A second winding member is electrically connected to a second conductive end. The second conductive end is opposite the first conductive end. The first conductive end forms a first lead; the second conductive end forms a second lead.
