  • Patent number: 8035954
    Abstract: An exterior case for a surface-mount type electrolytic capacitor has a box type resin case and an exterior case cover. The resin case incorporates anode terminals and a cathode terminal at the bottom portion and is open upward. The exterior cover covers the top and an outer surface of a side wall of the resin case. A convex portion is formed on an inner surface of a ceiling of the exterior case cover and, thereby, a concave portion is formed between an inner surface of the side wall of the exterior case cover and the convex portion. The concave portion and an upper end portion of the side wall of the resin case are fitted together with an adhesive therebetween. An upper surface of the capacitor element is pressed by the convex portion of the inner surface of the ceiling of the exterior case cover and, thereby, a positional deviation thereof is prevented.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6671167
    Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor is disclosed which combines low LC with Low ESR and which has good characteristics even in a high frequency range, and a method for preparing the same is also disclosed. In the solid electrolytic capacitor whose electrolytic layer contains electrically conductive particles, non-conductive particles are present in at least a part of an interface between a dielectric layer and the electrolyte layer. By employing the structure, local intensifications of field strength in the dielectric layer are prevented to enable a problem of increase in LC to be overcome while keeping ESR low. By the method which comprised a step of applying a colloidal dispersion containing the non-conductive particles in the form of colloidal particles to the post-electrolytic layer formation step product, the solid electrolytic capacitor having the above-mentioned structure can be prepared efficiently.
