  • Patent number: 6508846
    Abstract: In a process and an apparatus for fabricating a solid electrolytic capacitor comprising a capacitor element including an anode member provided with a chemical conversion coating and an electrically conductive polymer serving as a cathode electrolyte and impregnating the capacitor element, an agitating station 7 is provided between a mixing station 5 and an impregnating station 6 to have a mixture of a monomer and an oxidizer agitated immediately before the step of impregnating the capacitor element with the mixture to render the mixture uniform. The mixture can be agitated, for example, by an air injection nozzle disposed at the agitating station 7 for injecting compressed air into the mixture. This affords solid electrolytic capacitors with diminished variations in electrical characteristics.

  • Patent number: 6219224
    Abstract: The invention provides a solid electrolytic capacitor including a bottomed tubular case 4, a capacitor element 1 enclosed in the case 4, and a hermetic seal structure 7 sealing off an opening of the case 4. The opening of the case 4 is closed with a disklike seal plate 71 having a pair of through holes 76, 76. A pair of pipe members 73, 73 are inserted through the respective holes 76, 76 of the seal plate 71. Each of the pipe members 73 includes a ceramic pipe piece 74, and a gold thin film 75 formed at least over the inner periphery of the pipe piece 74. A clearance in each hole 76 of the seal plate 71 is filled with a glass material 72. A pair of lead pins 13, 13 extending from the capacitor element 1 extend through center bores of the pipe members 73, 73, respectively. A clearance in each pipe member 73 is filled with a brazing metal material 33.

  • Patent number: 6052273
    Abstract: A solid electrolyte capacitor has a metal case 3 housing a capacitor element 1 and closed by a hermetic seal structure. More specifically, the case 3 has an opening closed with a seal plate 4 of nickel alloy. The capacitor element 1 has a pair of lead wires 15, 15 which are joined at their outer end faces respectively to lower end faces of a pair of lead pins 2, 2 by resistance welding. The lead pins 2, 2 are inserted through holes 41, 41 in the seal plate 4, with an insulating glass seal 5 filled in a clearance in each of the holes 41, 41 around the lead pin 2. The opening-defining edge of the case 3 and the outer peripheral edge of the seal plate 4 are joined to each other by resistance welding. Consequently, the capacitor retains high reliability over a prolonged period of time.
