Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is for a solid electrolytic capacitor and method for making the same. This invention includes a capacitor element, an anode terminal, a cathode terminal, and a sealing resin covering the capacitor element. The anode terminal features a support portion for supporting the capacitor element, along with an anode standing portion that is formed upright relative to the support portion. The capacitor element consists of an anode wire projecting from a porous sintered body, which is placed on the upper end face of the anode standing portion. The anode wire and the anode standing portion have parts that are exposed from the sealing resin and are covered by an electrically conductive anode terminal covering layer to ensure electrical connection between the anode wire and the anode terminal.
Another notable patent involves a method for manufacturing a capacitor element for a solid electrolytic capacitor. This method allows for the creation of a capacitor element in which a dielectric film, a solid electrolyte layer, and a cathode-side electrode film are formed on the anode chip body obtained by sintering a powder of a valve-acting metal. The process is designed to prevent a decrease in the effective volume of the metal powder or degradation of electric connection. This is achieved by adhesively attaching one end surface of the anode chip body to the surface of a metal plate with an electrically conductive adhesive, allowing for the successive formation of the dielectric film, solid electrolyte layer, and cathode-side electrode film.
