  • Patent number: 9070511
    Abstract: A sealing member for a capacitor is formed of an elastic material, and has a circular cylindrical shape extending along an axial direction. The sectional view perpendicular to the axial direction shows a circular shape. Further, a pair of through-holes is formed parallel to the axial direction. The shape of each through-hole in the sectional view perpendicular to the axial direction of the sealing member is composed of a first arc and a second arc. The first arc protrudes toward the circumference of the sealing member. The second arc protrudes toward the center of the sealing member and has a curvature smaller than that of the first arc.
