Abstract: In a solid electrolytic capacitor, a path of an electric current flowing from a lower layer to an upper layer of a laminate in cathode portions of respective capacitor elements connected through an electroconductive adhesive layer is opposite to paths of electric currents flowing from a canopy through joints to cathode terminals, thereby achieving reduction in ESL by mutual inductance effect in a simple structure. Since the solid electrolytic capacitor has the structure in which the laminate is surrounded by the canopy and joints, sufficient pressure resistance is ensured for the capacitor elements during resin injection. For this reason, a resin mold to cover the laminate can be formed by transfer molding, which ensures excellent heat resistance and moisture resistance.

Abstract: An electrolytic capacitor that is configured to be embedded into a circuit board is provided. The electrolytic capacitor contains a capacitor element, anode and cathode terminations, and a case that encapsulates the capacitor element and leaves at least a portion of the anode and cathode terminations exposed that extend outwardly from opposite ends of the case. Each of the terminations possesses an upper surface that faces toward the capacitor element and a lower surface that faces away from the capacitor element. In contrast to conventional surface-mounted electrolytic capacitors, the upper surfaces of these exposed anode and cathode termination portions are mounted to the circuit board. In this manner, the capacitor may essentially be mounted “upside down” so that some or all of its thickness becomes embedded within the board itself, thereby minimizing the height profile of the capacitor on the board.

Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor that contains a capacitor element that includes an anode body, dielectric layer, and solid electrolyte is provided. The capacitor also contains an anode lead that is electrically connected to the anode body. Contrary to conventional capacitors in which the lead is welded or connected using a layer of seed particles, a refractory metal paste (e.g., tantalum paste) is employed in the present invention to electrically connect the anode lead to the anode body. The use of such a refractory metal paste allows the anode lead to be sinter bonded to a surface of the anode body after it is pressed. In this manner, a strong and reliable connection may be achieved without substantially decreasing the surface area of the lead that is available for connection to a termination. The paste of the present invention generally contains particles of a relatively small size.

Abstract: A capacitor containing a solid electrolytic capacitor element that includes an anode, dielectric, and solid electrolyte is provided. An anode lead extends from the anode and is electrically connected to an anode termination. The anode termination contains an upstanding portion that is bent or folded about an axis so that it possesses two or more sections. A slot (e.g., U-shaped) extends through the sections of the upstanding portion for receiving an anode lead. The resulting “folded” configuration of the anode termination increases the total thickness of the upstanding portion and its associated slot, which thereby enhances the degree of mechanical support and stability that the termination provides to the anode lead. This is particularly beneficial for thicker anode leads, such as those having a height and/or width of about 100 micrometers or more, in some embodiments about 200 micrometers or more, and in some embodiments, from about 250 to about 1000 micrometers.

The opening is provided with a stepped portion, so that the sealing degree is increased when the lead wire is inserted into a hole of the sealing member.

Abstract: A filament post used in plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition has an outer shell and an inner post. An electrical potential is applied only to the inner post to ensure that there is no impact on the plasma density and the carbon film properties.

The carbon film deposited on the outer shell of the post is not highly stressed, which significantly reduces film delamination from the filament post surfaces.
