  • Patent number: 11062850
    Abstract: A film capacitor includes a capacitor element, a first bus bar, and a second bus bar. The first bus bar includes a first electrode connecting part connected to the first electrode of the capacitor element at one end and a first connection terminal at another end. The second bus bar includes a second electrode connecting part connected to the second electrode of the capacitor element at one end and a second connection terminal at another end. The first bus bar includes a branch part that is branched from a position closer to the first electrode connecting part than the first connection terminal and extends toward the second electrode along a peripheral surface of the capacitor element. The second bus bar includes an overlapping part that overlaps at least a part of the branch part. The overlapping part is along the peripheral surface of the capacitor element.
