  • Electronic device with mounting structure
    Patent number: 5880926
    Abstract: An electrolytic capacitor device includes a capacitor which has a capacitor element and leads extending from one end of the element, and a square mounting board for use in mounting the capacitor device on a printed circuit board. The mounting board is connected to the one end of the capacitor. The leads are inserted into openings extending through the mounting board. The mounting board has parallel slits extending from the openings to one side edge of the mounting board. Each slit is wider in its open end at the one side edge of the mounting board than the diameter of the associated opening. The bottom surface of the mounting board has metal plate terminals which extend from the openings to different side edges of the mounting board. The terminals have rising portions extending upward along the inner walls of the slits and the openings. The leads have tip ends welded in their peripheries to the rising portions. The top surface of the mounting board has a U-shaped stop opening toward the one side edge.
