A wet electrolytic capacitor is provided that includes an anode, an anode lead, an electrolyte, a casing having a wall that defines an anode lead orifice, and a sealing assembly. The sealing assembly is connected to the casing at the anode lead orifice, and a portion of the anode lead extends through it. The sealing assembly includes an isolation tube, a metal plate, and an elastomeric ring. The tube receives the anode lead and has a first portion extending through the anode lead orifice and a second portion located in an interior of the casing. The plate is positioned adjacent to an exterior surface of the wall, covers the anode lead orifice, and contains an orifice through which the first portion of the tube extends. The ring is positioned adjacent to an interior surface of the wall and contains an orifice through which the second portion of the tube extends.
