Patent number: 8400757Abstract: A one-side pressed terminal is applied as a first anode (cathode) lead tab terminal and the one-side pressed terminal is connected to an anode (a cathode) foil in such a manner that a position in a radial direction of a lead is shifted inward after winding. A one-side pressed terminal is applied as a second anode (cathode) lead tab terminal and the one-side pressed terminal is connected to the anode (cathode) foil in such a manner that a position in the radial direction of a lead is shifted inward after winding. Thus, while retaining characteristics as an electrolytic capacitor, connection of the anode (cathode) lead tab terminal to the anode (cathode) foil can be achieved in a stable manner.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2010Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignees: SANYO Electric Co., Ltd., SAGA SANYO INDUSTRIES Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kazumasa Fujimoto

Patent number: 8320105Abstract: A both-side pressed terminal is connected as a first anode (cathode) lead tab terminal to an anode (a cathode) foil. A first connection surface of a connection portion of a one-side pressed terminal as a second anode (cathode) lead tab terminal is connected to an inner circumferential surface of the anode (cathode) foil. A position in a radial direction of a lead of the second anode (cathode) lead tab terminal is shifted inward to be in registration with a position in a radial direction of a lead of the first anode (cathode) lead tab terminal. Thus, an electrolytic capacitor free from position displacement of an anode (a cathode) lead tab terminal while maintaining characteristics as an electrolytic capacitor can be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2010Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignees: SANYO Electric Co., Ltd., SAGA SANYO INDUSTRIES Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kazumasa Fujimoto
