[0009] The following describes embodiments of the present disclosure using examples, but the present disclosure is not limited to the examples described below. While specific numerical values and materials are used as examples in the following description, other numerical values and materials may be used as long as the effects of the present disclosure are obtained. Note that components other than those characteristic of the present disclosure may be those of known electrolytic capacitors.
[0010] (electrolytic capacitor) The electrolytic capacitor of the present disclosure has a bottom surface and a top surface opposite the bottom surface. Hereinafter, the bottom surface and the top surface may be referred to as the "bottom surface (B)" and the "top surface (T)." The electrolytic capacitor of the present disclosure includes a capacitor element including an anode lead, an anode lead terminal and a cathode lead terminal electrically connected to the capacitor element, and an exterior resin disposed around the capacitor element.
[0011] At least one of the anode lead terminal and the cathode lead terminal includes a terminal portion exposed on the bottom surface (B) and two anchor portions extending from the terminal portion and embedded in the exterior resin. Hereinafter, the lead terminal including the two anchor portions may be referred to as a "lead terminal (L)." The terminal portions are arranged along the direction D1 in which the anode lead extends. The end Two anchors of each teeth The terminal portion includes an upright portion that rises from the end side of the terminal portion toward the upper surface (T), and an extending portion that bends and extends from the upper end of the upright portion.
[0012] As described above, the anchor portion (the upstanding portion and the extending portion) is embedded in the exterior resin. Furthermore, the metal sheet constituting the lead terminal (L) is bent at two locations: at the boundary between the terminal portion and the upstanding portion, and at the boundary between the upstanding portion and the extending portion. With this configuration, the extending direction of the upstanding portion differs from the extending direction of the extending portion. Therefore, the anchor portion exerts a high anchoring effect. Therefore, according to the present disclosure, it is possible to prevent the lead terminal (L) from being separated from the exterior resin. In other words, according to the present disclosure, an electrolytic capacitor with high terminal strength and reliability can be obtained.
[0013] There is no particular limitation on the size of the anchor portion, as long as it is of a size that can provide an anchoring effect. Examples of the size of the anchor portion will be described in the first embodiment.
[0014] The two anchor portions included in one lead terminal (L) are usually symmetrical with respect to a plane that is perpendicular to the bottom surface (B) and passes through the central axis of the anode lead, but they do not have to be symmetrical. When the anode lead terminal and the cathode lead terminal each include an anchor portion, the shape of the anchor portion of the anode lead terminal and the shape of the anchor portion of the cathode lead terminal may be the same as or different from each other.
[0015] In the electrolytic capacitor of the present disclosure, it is preferable that the entire surface of the extension portion be in contact with the exterior resin. From another perspective, it is preferable that the anchor portion be not in contact with the capacitor element. These configurations provide a high anchor effect.
[0016] The two anchor portions may be bent in different directions (opposite rotation directions) at the boundary between the terminal portion and the upstanding portion and at the boundary between the upstanding portion and the extending portion. Here, "bending in different directions" means that the metal sheet constituting the lead terminal (L) is bent so that one surface (the surface on the upper surface (T) side) of the metal sheet forms a valley at the boundary between the terminal portion and the upstanding portion, and is bent so that the one surface forms a peak at the boundary between the upstanding portion and the extending portion. More specifically, the extending portions of the two anchor portions may be bent from the upper ends of the upstanding portions and extend in directions away from each other. That is, the extending portions of the two anchor portions may be bent from the upper ends of the upstanding portions and extend in directions away from each other in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the anode lead. An anchor portion having this configuration is easy to form. Furthermore, when an anchor portion having this configuration is used, it is easy to fill the exterior resin material (such as a molded resin). The two anchor portions may be bent in the same direction (same rotation direction) at the boundary between the terminal portion and the standing portion and at the boundary between the standing portion and the extending portion, respectively.
[0017] In the electrolytic capacitor of the present disclosure, each of the anode lead terminal and the cathode lead terminal may include two anchor portions. This configuration results in an electrolytic capacitor with particularly high terminal strength and reliability. Alternatively, only the anode lead terminal may include two anchor portions, or only the cathode lead terminal may include two anchor portions.
[0018] An example of the components of the electrolytic capacitor of the present disclosure will be described below.
[0019] (Anode lead terminal) The anode lead terminal may be formed by processing a single metal sheet using a known metal processing method. The material of the anode lead terminal may be any material that can be used as a material for the anode lead terminal of an electrolytic capacitor. For example, a known anode lead terminal material used in electrolytic capacitors may be used. The anode lead terminal may be formed by processing a metal sheet (including a metal plate and a metal foil) made of a metal (copper, copper alloy, etc.). The surface of the metal sheet may be plated with nickel, gold, or the like. The thickness of the metal sheet constituting the anode lead terminal is 25 mm ~200 mm range (e.g., 25 mm ~100 mm The range may be within the range of
[0020] The anode lead terminal may include an anode terminal portion exposed on the bottom surface (B) and a wire connection portion rising from the anode terminal portion toward the top surface (T). As described above, two anchor portions may extend from the anode terminal portion. The anode lead of the capacitor element is connected to the wire connection portion. The wire connection portion may have a wire receiving portion at its tip that is bent to be approximately parallel to the bottom surface (B). The wire receiving portion may be bent toward the front surface of the capacitor element, or may be bent in the opposite direction. Here, the front surface of the capacitor element means Anode Lead The end of the capacitor element where On the surfaceThe wire receiving portion allows for easy and reliable connection between the wire connection portion and the anode lead.
[0021] (cathode lead terminal) The cathode lead terminal may be formed by processing a single metal sheet using a known metal processing method. The material of the cathode lead terminal may be any material that can be used as a cathode lead terminal material for electrolytic capacitors. For example, a known cathode lead terminal material used in electrolytic capacitors may be used. The cathode lead terminal may be formed from a metal sheet exemplified as a material for an anode lead terminal.
[0022] The cathode lead terminal may include a cathode terminal portion exposed at the bottom surface (B) and a connection portion electrically connected to the cathode portion of the capacitor element. The cathode portion of the capacitor element is electrically connected to the cathode terminal portion via the connection portion. As described above, two anchor portions may extend from the cathode terminal portion.
[0023] (Capacitor element) The capacitor element is not particularly limited. The capacitor element may be a capacitor element used in a known solid electrolytic capacitor or a capacitor element having a similar configuration. The electrolytic capacitor of the present disclosure may include a plurality of capacitor elements. In this case, the plurality of capacitor elements may be element The anode portion is electrically connected to an anode lead terminal.
[0024] An example capacitor element includes an anode portion and a cathode portion. The anode portion includes an anode body having a dielectric layer formed on its surface and an anode lead, and the cathode portion includes an electrolyte layer and a cathode layer. The electrolyte layer is disposed between the dielectric layer formed on the surface of the anode body and the cathode layer. These components are not particularly limited, and components used in known solid electrolytic capacitors may be applied. Examples of these components are described below.
[0025] (anode body) The anode body may be, for example, a columnar (e.g., rectangular parallelepiped) porous sintered body obtained by sintering particles of the material. Examples of the particles include particles of valve metals, particles of alloys containing valve metals, and particles of compounds containing valve metals. These particles may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Examples of valve metals include titanium ( Ti ),tantalum( Ta ),niobium( Nb Alternatively, the anode body may be formed by roughening the surface of a substrate (such as a foil-shaped or plate-shaped substrate) containing a valve metal by etching or the like.
[0026] The anode part may be fabricated by the following method. First, a portion of the anode lead is embedded in metal powder, which is the material of the anode body, and the metal powder is pressure-molded into a columnar shape (e.g., a rectangular parallelepiped shape). The metal powder is then sintered to form the anode body. In this manner, an anode part including the anode body and the anode lead, part of which is embedded in the anode body, can be fabricated.
[0027] The dielectric layer formed on the surface of the anode body is not particularly limited and may be formed by a known method. For example, the dielectric layer may be formed by immersing the anode body in a chemical conversion solution to anodize the surface of the anode body. Alternatively, the dielectric layer may be formed by heating the anode body in an oxygen-containing atmosphere to oxidize the surface of the anode body.
[0028] (anode lead) The anode lead may be a wire (anode wire) made of metal. Examples of materials for the anode lead include the valve metals mentioned above, copper, aluminum, and aluminum alloys. A portion of the anode lead is embedded in the anode body, and the remaining portion protrudes from the anode body. The anode lead is usually rod-shaped, but may also be plate-shaped.
[0029] (electrolyte layer) The electrolyte layer is not particularly limited, and an electrolyte layer used in a known solid electrolytic capacitor may be applied. In this specification, the term "electrolyte layer" may be read as a "solid electrolyte layer," and the term "electrolytic capacitor" may be read as a "solid electrolytic capacitor." The electrolyte layer may be a laminate of two or more different electrolyte layers.
[0030] The electrolyte layer is disposed so as to cover at least a portion of the dielectric layer. The electrolyte layer may be formed using a manganese compound or a conductive polymer. Examples of conductive polymers include polypyrrole, polythiophene, polyaniline, and derivatives thereof. These may be used alone or in combination. The conductive polymer may also be a copolymer of two or more types of monomers. Note that a derivative of a conductive polymer refers to a polymer having a conductive polymer as its basic skeleton. For example, an example of a polythiophene derivative is poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene).
[0031] A dopant may be added to the conductive polymer. The dopant can be selected depending on the conductive polymer, and known dopants may be used. Examples of dopants include naphthalene sulfonic acid, p -toluenesulfonic acid, polystyrenesulfonic acid, and salts thereof. An example electrolyte layer is formed using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) doped with polystyrenesulfonic acid (PSS).
[0032] The electrolyte layer containing the conductive polymer may be formed by polymerizing raw material monomers on the dielectric layer, or by applying a liquid containing the conductive polymer (and optionally a dopant) to the dielectric layer and then drying it.
[0033] (cathode layer) The cathode layer may be a conductive layer formed on the electrolyte layer, for example, a conductive layer formed so as to cover the electrolyte layer. The cathode layer may include a carbon layer formed on the electrolyte layer and a metal paste layer formed on the carbon layer. The carbon layer may be formed of a conductive carbon material such as graphite and a resin. The metal paste layer may be formed of metal particles (e.g., silver particles) and a resin, for example, a silver paste.
[0034] The cathode layer is electrically connected to a cathode lead terminal. The cathode layer may be electrically connected to the cathode lead terminal via a conductive member. The conductive member may be formed of metal particles (e.g., silver particles) and a resin, for example, a silver paste.
[0035] (exterior resin) The exterior resin is disposed around the capacitor element so that the capacitor element is not exposed on the surface of the electrolytic capacitor. Furthermore, the exterior resin insulates the anode lead terminal from the cathode lead terminal. The exterior resin may be a known exterior resin used in electrolytic capacitors. For example, the exterior resin may be formed using an insulating resin material used to seal the capacitor element. Examples of exterior resin materials include epoxy resin, phenolic resin, silicone resin, melamine resin, urea resin, alkyd resin, polyurethane, polyimide, and unsaturated polyester. The exterior resin may contain a substance other than resin (such as an inorganic filler). The electrolytic capacitor may include a case disposed on at least a portion of the surface of the exterior resin.
[0036] An example of an electrolytic capacitor according to the present disclosure will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. The components described above can be applied to the components of the example electrolytic capacitor described below. Furthermore, the components of the example electrolytic capacitor described below can be modified based on the above description.
