  • Patent number: 8780533
    Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor that includes a laminated body, a solid electrolyte layer, and conductive bases. The laminated body is obtained by laminating a plurality of dielectric-coated valve action metal sheets, each of which includes a valve action metal base and a dielectric coating, and joining together the adjacent valve action metal bases. The valve action metal base has a cathode layer part, and the dielectric coating covers the surface of the valve action metal base at least the cathode layer part. The valve action metal base of at least one of the dielectric-coated valve action metal sheets further has an anode lead part. The solid electrolyte layer is a continuous layer that fills gaps between the dielectric-coated valve action metal sheets and covers the outer surface of the laminated body at the cathode layer parts, and conductive bases are provided in the solid electrolyte layer.

  • Publication number: 20140036417
    Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor having grooves provided in a valve-acting metal substrate that includes a porous surface part and a non-porous body part, the bottoms of the grooves being non-porous. The valve-acting metal substrate is divided into a plurality of unit regions by the grooves, and define cathode layer formation parts in the porous surface parts for each unit region. A dielectric layer covers the surfaces of the cathode layer formation parts of the valve-acting metal substrate and the grooves between the cathode layer formation parts. A solid electrolyte layer and a cathode extraction layer cover the surface of the dielectric layer, thereby providing a sheet in which a plurality of solid electrolytic capacitor elements are prepared integrally with the grooves interposed therebetween. The sheet is cut at the grooves, and a dielectric layer is formed on the cut surfaces located around the cathode layer formation parts.

  • Publication number: 20120288746
    Abstract: Disclosed is a sheet-type secondary battery having: a laminated sheath (2) including an inner layer (2a) made of a thermoplastic resin and a metal layer (2b); and electrode terminals (3), each of which is connected electrically to an internal electrode pair (1) and passes through a heat seal portion (20) of the laminated sheath (2) in a hermetic manner so as to be led out externally. The sheath (2) and electrode terminal (3) are bonded with a bonding resin (5) at portion (20) in which terminal (3) is interposed. The inner layer (2a) of the sheath (2) opposed to the terminal (3) has an excess resin receiving portion (20a) formed thereon for receiving an excess resin in a heat sealing process. The portion (20a) is not formed in a heat seal portion (20P) at which the inner layers (2a) of the laminated sheaths (2) are bonded.
