  • Patent number: 8139341
    Abstract: A film capacitor comprises a wound body, a first terminal part electrically connected to one end of the wound body, and a second terminal part electrically connected to the other end of the wound body. The wound body is structured by winding into a laminate a first film laminate formed of a laminate of dielectric films and having therein a floating electrode and a second film laminate formed of a laminate of first and second metal films sandwiching the first film laminate and dielectric films and having therein a floating electrode (22). Each of the floating electrodes (22) is composed of integrated small electrodes independent of each other.

  • Patent number: 7929271
    Abstract: A first electrode pattern comprises a first lead-out electrode portion extending continuously along the longitudinal direction of a first dielectric film, a plurality of first capacitor electrode portions each extending from the first lead-out electrode portion almost perpendicularly to the first lead-out electrode portion, and second capacitor electrode portions which are disposed between the first capacitor electrode portions and connected thereto. The second capacitor electrode portions each have a plurality of first sections. Each first section is connected to one end surface and the other end surface extending along the width direction of the first dielectric film of the first capacitor electrode portions through a narrow first fuse portion.
