Abstract: An electric double layer capacitor including a separator, a pair of polarizing electrodes disposed opposite to each other with the separator interposed therebetween, an electrolytic solution impregnated in a pair of the polarizing electrodes and the separator, an exterior cover and an exterior case for accommodating the separator, a pair of the polarizing electrodes, and the electrolytic solution, and a gasket disposed between the outer circumferential part of the exterior cover and the inner circumferential part of the exterior case, the storage space formed by the exterior case and the exterior cover being hermetically sealed by inwardly bending the opening tip portion of the exterior case, is characterized in that no folded-back part is provided at the outer circumferential part of the exterior cover, and the gasket is polyether ether ketone.

Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor of the present invention includes a capacitor element having an anode element, an anode lead member projecting from the anode element, a dielectric coating formed on a surface of the anode element and a surface of the anode lead member near the anode element, a solid electrolyte layer formed on the dielectric coating, and a cathode lead layer formed on the solid electrolyte layer; and an insulating enclosure member for coating the outer periphery of the capacitor element. End faces of the dielectric coating and the solid electrolyte layer formed on the anode lead member are formed approximately flush with each other. The end faces of the dielectric coating and the solid electrolyte layer are covered with an insulating layer made of a thermoplastic insulating material.

Abstract: An electric double layer capacitor has an electrode unit (10), an external lid (4), an external case, and a gasket (8) disposed between the external lid (4) and the external case (5). The external case (5) has an open end part that is bent inwardly with the external lid and the external case being disposed so that inner surfaces of the top wall and the bottom wall face each other, to hermetically close an accommodating space, formed by the external case and the external lid. The thickness of at least the circumferential wall of the external lid (4) is greater than the thickness of the external case (5). The circumferential wall of the external lid (4) extends substantially linearly toward the bottom wall of the external case (5), and the extending edge of the circumferential wall of the external lid (4) is buried in the gasket (8).
