Abstract: An aluminum electrolytic capacitor includes: an exterior case of a bottomed cylindrical shape for accommodating a capacitor element in which an anode foil and a cathode foil are wound in an overlapping manner with a separator interposed therebetween; and an elastic sealing member for sealing an opening of the exterior case, wherein the exterior case is formed with, on an outer circumferential surface, a plurality of tapered concave portions whose depth in the radial direction becomes shallow from the bottomed cylindrical bottom toward the opening side, whereby a tapered raised portion, which is raised toward the center side in the radial direction, is formed on an inner circumferential surface located on the back surface of the concave portion, and the capacitor element is abutted and supported by the raised portion.

Abstract: A pressure valve to be arranged in a seal member sealing a casing in which a capacitor element is housed, the pressure valve having a base end positioned within the case and a tip positioned outside the case. The pressure valve includes a tapered portion having a tapered shape. At the top portion of the tapered portion, there is formed a slit able to undergo a state change between a close-state and an open-state by elastic deformation. When the casing internal pressure is less than a certain value, the slit maintains the close-state. When the casing internal pressure has reached the certain value, the slit undergoes a state change to the open-state, whereby the inside and outside of the case communicate with each other and the internal pressure is released from within the case.
