Abstract: An electrochemical cell has a container housing a separator and a pair of electrodes impregnated with an electrolyte. The container has a base member having a bottom part and a side part disposed on a top surface of the bottom part along an outer rim of the bottom part. A metallic conductive terminal has first and second opposite surfaces penetrating through inner and outer sides of the base member. The first surface of the conductive terminal is disposed on the top surface of the bottom part of the base member. The second surface of the conductive terminal is disposed in contact with one of the pair of the electrodes. A metallic frame member has first and second opposite surfaces, with the first surface being joined to an entire rim of a top surface of the side part of the base member. A metallic cover member is joined to an entire rim of the second surface of the frame member.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell has an outer case formed of one of ceramics and glass. An electrochemical cell element is hermetically sealed in the outer case. The electrochemical cell element contains a positive pole, a negative pole, and a non-aqueous electrolyte containing an organic solvent. A metal layer is formed on an edge of the outer case. A sealing plate is resistance welded to the metal layer. The sealing plate is made of an alloy containing, in weight percentage, Co by 1 to 50%, Ni by 1 to 70%, Fe by 20% or higher, Cr by 10% or lower, Mn by 2.0% or lower, Si by 1.0% or lower and C by 1.0% or lower.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell capable of reflow soldering has a terminal for connection to a circuit board. The terminal is fixed to either the positive pole can or the negative pole can, and the bottom surface of the other pole can which is not fixed to the terminal is provided with a layer consisting of at least one of Au, Sn, Sn-alloy and Ni.

Abstract: A package for a communication device has a base member having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and an interior space disposed between the first and second ends for accommodating a communication device. A conductive terminal extends through the base member from the interior space and to the exterior of the base member. A frame member is connected to the base member and has a peripheral portion protruding from the first end of the base member. A cover member is connected to the protruding peripheral portion of the frame member.

Abstract: A method for producing an electrical double layer capacitor comprising the steps of assembling together components comprised of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a non-aqueous solvent, an electrolyte containing a supporting salt, a separator, and a gasket to form a coin- or button-type electrical double layer capacitor, heating the assembled coin- or button-type electrical double layer capacitor so that a temperature profile of the heating step is approximately the same as a temperature profile of reflow soldering, and welding an outer connection terminal to the heated assembled coin- or button-type electrical double layer capacitor after the heating step.

Abstract: A non-aqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery is resistant to the reflow temperature during reflow soldering. The non-aqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery has a positive electrode having an active material comprised of an oxide of molybdenum, a negative electrode comprised of lithium and SiO, an electrolytic solution comprised of a material containing a supporting salt and resistant to the reflow temperature during reflow soldering of the non-aqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery, and a gasket comprised of a compound selected from the group consisting of LCP, PEEK, PEN, and tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer resin.

Abstract: A secondary battery or capacitor fitted with terminals and occupies less area on a packaging substrate. Either one of the positive and negative terminals is mounted within the outer surface of the secondary battery or capacitor. This reduces the area occupied by the secondary battery or capacitor fitted with terminals on the substrate. At least one step is formed on the terminal positioned opposite to the substrate. This prevents electrical shorting between the positive electrode can and the negative terminal.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a button-type alkaline cell comprises forming and working a negative electrode having an inner surface of Cu using a die having a ceramic portion while abutting the ceramic portion of the die with at least the Cu inner surface of the negative electrode. The thus formed and worked negative electrode is then combined with a positive electrode compound, a negative electrode compound, a separator, a positive electrode, a gasket and an alkaline electrolyte to form the button-type alkaline cell.
