Patent number: 8644004Abstract: A first cathode lead terminal is arranged closer to one end of a cathode foil than a second cathode lead terminal, and a first anode lead terminal is arranged closer to one end of an anode foil than a second anode lead terminal. In a cross-section perpendicular to an axis, a core has a first length along a first straight line passing through the axis and a second length along a second straight line passing through the axis and orthogonal to the first straight line, and the first length is smaller than the second length. When the cathode and the anode foils are together wound around the core from each one end, the first straight line lies between the first cathode lead terminal and the first anode lead terminal and the second straight line lies between the second cathode lead terminal and the second anode lead terminal.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2011Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignees: SANYO Electric Co., Ltd., SAGA Sanyo Industries Co., Ltd.Inventor: Tetsuya Kawakubo

Patent number: 8529641Abstract: At least any of a second cathode lead terminal and a second anode lead terminal has such a construction that a lead portion is shifted with respect to a connection portion orthogonally. A first cathode lead terminal is closer to one end of a cathode foil than the second cathode lead terminal and a first anode lead terminal is closer to one end of an anode foil than the second anode lead terminal. A core has first and second lengths along first and second straight lines passing through a core axis, respectively. The first length is smaller than the second length. The cathode and anode foils are wound together around the core from the one end of each of the cathode and anode foils. The second straight line lies between the first cathode and anode lead terminals and the first straight line lies between the second cathode and anode lead terminals.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2011Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignees: SANYO Electric Co., Ltd., SAGA SANYO INDUSTRIES Co., Ltd.Inventor: Tetsuya Kawakubo

Patent number: 8206466Abstract: Electrode lead terminals in a number not less than three are attached to a cathode foil and an anode foil. The electrode lead terminals include at least one cathode lead terminal attached to the cathode foil and at least one anode lead terminal attached to the anode foil. A winding core having an axis is prepared. The cathode foil and the anode foil are wound around the winding core, being overlapped each other. A cross section of the winding core perpendicular to the axis includes an outer edge having a portion along each side of a polygon with the above number of sides. Thereby, a method for manufacturing an electrolytic capacitor capable of suppressing displacement of a lead terminal can be provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2010Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignees: SANYO Electric Co., Ltd., Saga Sanyo Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tetsuya Kawakubo, Hironobu Nakao

Patent number: 5766271Abstract: A solid electrolyte capacitor comprises a capacitor element disposed in a case, and a rubber seal member tightly fitted in an upper opening of the case, with lead terminals projecting from the element and extending through the seal member. To fabricate the capacitor, a TCNQ complex salt is placed into a heating box and melted by heating. The capacitor element is placed into the box, impregnated with the complex salt, then immediately withdrawn from the box and cooled in air to solidify the salt by cooling. Subsequently, the lead terminals of the element are inserted through the seal member. The element is placed into the case which has approximately the same diameter as the heating box, with the seal member attached to the element, and the case is constricted to seal off its opening, whereby the solid electrolyte capacitor is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 1995Date of Patent: June 16, 1998Assignees: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd., Saga Sanyo Industries Co, Ltd.Inventors: Kazuhiro Suenaga, Tetsuya Kawakubo, Shinichi Niwa, Kourou Yoshimizu, Tokusaburo Nakamoto, Hidemi Fuchikami
