Patent number: 11984271Abstract: An electrolytic capacitor includes an anode body having a porous structure, an anode lead having a sheet shape, a cathode layer, an anode lead frame electrically connected to the anode lead, and a cathode lead frame electrically connected to the cathode layer. The anode lead includes an embedded portion embedded in the anode body and a protrusion portion protruding to an outside of the anode body. The anode lead has a first main surface facing the cathode lead frame and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface. The anode lead is located between a center of the anode body and an end face of the anode body in a first direction in which the first main surface faces the cathode lead frame. The end face of the anode body is positioned at a side close to the cathode lead frame.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Yukiyasu Sugihara, Norihiko Ogata, Kazuhide Gotou, Yuma Yano, Yuki Ueda, Masayuki Hogiri

The anode body has a plurality of principal faces. A surface of the anode body has a first region and a second region different from the first region, and the first region does not include a corner portion where a plurality of the principal faces meet. A surface roughness in the first region is greater than a surface roughness in the second region.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Takeshi MINAMIURA, Masayuki HOGIRI, Norihiko OGATA, Kazuhide GOTOU, Yuma YANO, Yukiyasu SUGIHARA

Publication number: 20230411086Abstract: An electrolytic capacitor includes an anode body having a porous structure, an anode lead partially embedded in the anode body, a dielectric layer formed on a surface of the anode body, and a cathode part that covers at least part of the dielectric layer. The anode body has a first region in which first particles sintered together and a second region in which second particles sintered together. The average particle diameter D1 of the first particles is smaller than the average particle diameter D2 of the second particles. The volume-based pore diameter distribution of the anode body with the dielectric layer has a first peak in a range of less than or equal to 0.5 ?m in pore diameter, and a second peak in a range of more than 0.5 ?m in pore diameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Yukiyasu SUGIHARA, Norihiko OGATA, Kazuhide GOTOU, Yuma YANO, Yuki UEDA, Takeshi MINAMIURA, Masayuki HOGIRI

Patent number: 11823845Abstract: An electrolytic capacitor including a capacitor element that includes an anode body being porous, a dielectric layer formed on the surface of the anode body, and a solid electrolyte layer covering at least part of the dielectric layer. The anode body has a plurality of principal surfaces and a corner portion. The corner portion includes a plurality of side portions connecting between the principal surfaces, and one or more vertex portions connecting between the principal surfaces. A surface layer X of at least part of the corner portion is more compact in texture than a surface layer Y of the principal surface adjacent to the surface layer X.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2020Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Norihiko Ogata, Yuma Yano, Kazuhide Gotou, Yukiyasu Sugihara, Masayuki Hogiri, Masahiro Ueda, Kazuhito Odane
