  • Patent number: 8081420
    Abstract: On a surface of an anode member 12 having a valve action, a cathode layer 14 is formed, and at a terminal lead-out face 12a at one end of the anode member 12, an anode wire 16 is led out of it; thus a capacitor element 10 is formed. An anode terminal 4 is joined to the anode wire 16. A cathode terminal 5 is joined to the cathode layer 14. A protective layer 2 of resin covers part or all of the capacitor element 10. A packaging member 3 of resin harder than the protective layer 2 covers around the capacitor element 10 including the protective layer 2 and the anode wire 16 to form a package. The protective layer 2 has a larger linear expansion coefficient than the packaging member 3. The mass ratio of the packaging member 3 to the total mass of the packaging member 3 and the protective layer 2 between the terminal lead-out face 12a and the exterior face of the packaging member 3 opposite the terminal lead-out face 12a is 50% or more.

  • Patent number: 7479166
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a solid electrolytic capacitor is provided for which an electrolytic polymerization solution can be used semipermanently while preventing a decrease in electrical conductivity of an electrically conductive polymer layer and an increase in ESR of the resultant electrolytic capacitor due to degradation of the electrolytic polymerization solution. The method of manufacturing a solid electrolytic capacitor as provided includes the step (A) of forming a dielectric layer on a surface of an anode element made of a valve metal, the step (B) of forming a cathode layer including an electrically conductive polymer layer on the dielectric layer, and the step (C) of adjusting the pH of a solution that contains a monomer and a dopant agent and that is used in forming the conductive polymer layer, by allowing the solution to contact an ion exchange or ion capture substance.
