Abstract: A film capacitor suited to car-mount application, excellent in heat cycle tolerance and humidity resistance, and high in productivity, while maintaining low heat generation and low inductance characteristic is provided. The film capacitor comprises a film capacitor element, a bus bar as metal terminal connected to electrode of this film capacitor element, and a case for containing them, in which the film capacitor element and bus bar are packed within the case by plural layers of epoxy resin compositions, and the plural layers of epoxy resin compositions are composed so that the coefficient of linear expansion is smallest in the composition disposed in the uppermost layer.

Abstract: A metalized film capacitor capable of exhibiting stable performance in a wide temperature range is provided. The metalized film capacitor has an elliptical cross sectional shape having a major axis of 60 mm or above. In this capacitor, offset for shifting in the width direction of a pair of metalized film is set to 1.2 mm or above. Since the bonding state between metal vapor-deposited electrode and metal sprayed electrode formed on the end surface is stable, a stable contact between metal sprayed electrode and dielectric film is maintained, thereby preferably maintaining tan ? and exhibiting excellent performance even if the use temperature range is increased and the thermal stress is increased.

Abstract: A case molded capacitor has a metallized film capacitor, a pair of bus bars, a resin-made internal case, molding resin, a metal external case, and a buffer material layer. The bus bars are each connected to respective one of electrodes of the metallized film capacitor. The internal case contains the metallized film capacitor. The metallized film capacitor is submerged with molding resin in the internal case so as to expose parts of the bus bars. The external case contains the internal case and both cases are connected at a connecting part. A buffer material layer is put in a gap made at least at a part between the internal case and the external case.

Abstract: The invention provides a film capacitor and its manufacturing method suited to car-mount application, excellent in heat cycle tolerance and humidity resistance, and high in productivity, while maintaining low heat generation and low inductance characteristic. A film capacitor comprises a film capacitor element 1, a bus bar 3 as metal terminal connected to electrode 2 of this film capacitor element 1, and a case 8 for containing them, in which the film capacitor element 1 and bus bar 3 are packed within the case 8 by plural layers of epoxy resin compositions 6, 7, and the plural layers of epoxy resin compositions 6, 7 are formed in layers, and are composed so that the coefficient of linear expansion may be smallest in the epoxy resin composition 7 disposed in the uppermost layer, and therefore resin cracks can be prevented at the time of heat cycle, and a film capacitor of high reliability excellent inhumidity resistance is obtained.
