A capacitor includes a capacitor element having a predetermined liquid preparation held between a pair of electrodes facing each other across a separator, a body case for housing the capacitor element, and a sealing member made of rubber for sealing seals the body case. A supplying portion is provided in contact with the sealing member to supply the liquid preparation held in the capacitor element to the sealing member. The liquid preparation has a lipid-soluble sealing member deterioration preventing agent dissolved in a lipophilic solvent. The sealing member deterioration preventing agent supplied by the supplying portion to the sealing member permeates the sealing member. The ratio by weight of the sealing member deterioration preventing agent in the sealing member to the sealing member is 0.1% by weight to 25% by weight.

Electrolytic capacitor

A capacitorincludes a capacitor elementholding solution between an anode foiland a cathode foilthat are wound up with a separatorin between, a body casefor housing the capacitor element, and a sealing memberfor sealing the body case. A part of the separatormakes contact, at a plurality of points or over an area, with the face of the sealing memberfacing the capacitor elementso as to rest on that face. The solution contains, dissolved in a lipophilic solvent, deterioration preventing agent that solidifies by oxidation. The solution is supplied through the separatorto the sealing memberand permeates the sealing member, so that a coatingresulting from the agent solidifying coats the outer face of the sealing member, leaving the solution present in the sealing member

A capacitor includes a capacitor element that holds a predetermined solution between an anode foil and a cathode foil wound up with a separator in between, a body case that is formed in the shape of a bottomed tube closed at one end with a wall and open at the other end to have an opening, a liquid supply sheet that is arranged between the inner face of the case and the outer face of the element, and a sealing member that seals the opening. The solution has a sealing member deterioration preventing agent dissolved in a lipophilic solvent. The sheet has an absorption portion that makes contact with the separator to absorb the solution and a supply portion that makes contact with the sealing member to supply it with the solution.
