  • Patent number: 6878483
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a separator which is excellent in sticking and adhesion capability with the solid electrolyte, physically strong and highly heat-resistive and to provide a solid electrolyte condenser which is excellent in the impedance characteristic and leak current characteristic. In a solid electrolyte condenser comprising an anode foil, a cathode foil, a separator, the separator is made of a nonwoven fabric containing polyester resin or its derivative manufactured by the wet method. The condenser element is formed by rolling the anode foil and the cathode foil together with the separator between them. The solid electrolyte is provided between the anode foil and the cathode foil of the condenser element.

  • Patent number: 6307732
    Abstract: The present invention provides a highly reliable aluminum electrolytic capacitor which has no flash point and shows little change or degradation in external appearance and properties. The water content of electrolytic solution of the electrolytic capacitor of this invention is 20-90 wt % and one or more following compounds are included as main electrolytes in the electrolytic solution; ammonium formate, ammonium acetate, ammonium lactate, ammonium glycolate, ammonium oxalate, ammonium succinate, ammonium malonate, ammonium adipate, ammonium benzoate, ammonium glutarate, and ammonium azelate. The electrolytic solution also contains not less than 1 wt % of one or more compounds selected from organic carboxylic acids with a particular structure and ammonium salts of these organic acids. The melting point of the electrolytic solution is −10° C. and below, the chlorine content of a sealing material of the capacitor is not more than 300 ppm to the weight of the sealing material.

  • Patent number: 6128179
    Abstract: The invention includes an electrolyte solution, a capacitor element impregnating the electrolyte solution, a case containing the capacitor element, a sealing member sealing the opening of the case, and lead wires coming out from the capacitor element and projecting outside by penetrating through the sealing member. The electrolyte solution contains a salt of carboxylic acid of quaternary matter of a compound containing N, N, N'-substitute amidine group and electrolyte. The electrolyte solution has .gamma.-butyrolactone as solvent, and the electrolyte is dissolved in the solvent. The elastic polymer has a crosslinking elastic polymer material. The sealing member has a molded form formed by crosslinking a mixture containing the crosslinking polymer material, magnesium oxide and crosslinking agent. According to this invention, even in severe conditions of such as an atmosphere of high temperature and high humidity, leakage of electrolyte solution can be prevented.
