Abstract
A metallized film capacitor formed by laminating or winding a metallized film 1 with metal evaporated electrode on one or both sides thereof so that a pair of metal evaporated electrodes 2 are opposite to each other, wherein electrode lead-out portions 3 are provided at both ends of the capacitor, each metal evaporated electrode is composed of a low resistance area abutting on the electrode lead-out portion and a remaining high resistance area having higher resistance than it, a split electrode pattern with a plurality of minute blocks 8 formed in a longitudinal direction and width direction and fusing areas 9 between the adjacent minute blocks is formed on at least one of the metal evaporated electrodes, and electrode partitioning lines 7 are formed at regular intervals in a longitudinal direction of the film. The metallized film is fabricated by depositing substance such as oil for preventing evaporation of metal on the evaporation side of a plastic film 10 through a rotary screen cylinder with any pattern formed by mesh processing and immediately thereafter depositing evaporated metal, thereby forming a split fuse pattern serving as a safeguard mechanism during high speed evaporation.
