  • Patent number: 8562695
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a solid electrolytic capacitor includes steps (a) to (d). The step (a) forms at least two punched apertures in a metal plate, thereby forming a rung section between adjacent two of the punched apertures, the rung section having surfaces as a pair appearing as a result of formation of the punched apertures. The step (b) cuts the rung section out of the metal plate to form a pad member, the length of the rung section corresponding to a distance between the surfaces being determined to be the height of the pad member. The step (c) mounts the pad member on an anode terminal such that one of the surfaces faces the anode terminal. The step (d) electrically connects an anode section of a capacitor element to the other of the surfaces and electrically connects a cathode section of the capacitor element to the cathode terminal.

  • Patent number: 8400758
    Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor according to the present invention includes a solid electrolyte type capacitor element including a dielectric layer intervening between an anode section and a cathode section, an anode terminal connected electrically to the anode section of the capacitor element through a pad member, and a cathode terminal connected electrically to the cathode section of the capacitor element. Here, on facing surfaces of the pad member and the anode terminal, a joint part which joins the pad member and the anode terminal electrically is formed at a position adjacent to a first lateral surface of the pad member located on the cathode terminal side, and a second lateral surface of the pad member on the opposite side to the first lateral surface and a partial area of a lateral end surface of the anode terminal are flush with each other.

  • Patent number: 8072735
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a solid electrolytic capacitor, capable of joining a bolster member interposed between an anode lead and an anode lead frame to the anode lead frame with good adhesion property and high positional accuracy where a bolster member is obtained from a ladder-shaped frame such that a width of the bolster member in a direction perpendicular to a lead-out direction of an anode lead is larger than a width of an anode lead frame, and the bolster member is aligned with the anode lead frame while being chucked, and then is joined to the anode lead frame.

  • Publication number: 20110051324
    Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor according to the present invention includes a solid electrolyte type capacitor element including a dielectric layer intervening between an anode section and a cathode section, an anode terminal connected electrically to the anode section of the capacitor element through a pad member, and a cathode terminal connected electrically to the cathode section of the capacitor element. Here, the pad member is formed by performing a cutting process on a metal plate. The pad member includes a cutting surface produced by the cutting process, and the cutting surface forms a joint surface joined to the anode section of the capacitor element and a joint surface joined to the anode terminal.

    Abstract: Object The invention provides a method for manufacturing a solid electrolytic capacitor, capable of joining a bolster member interposed between an anode lead and an anode lead frame to the anode lead frame with good adhesion property and high positional accuracy. Solution A bolster member is obtained from a ladder-shaped frame. A width of the bolster member in a direction perpendicular to a lead-out direction of an anode lead is larger than a width of an anode lead frame. The bolster member is aligned with the anode lead frame while being chucked, and then is joined to the anode lead frame.
