Abstract
A metallized-film capacitor includes a slit () at approx. center of the width (W) of an effective electrode which actually forms a capacitance of a pair of deposited electrodes (). Divisional electrodes () exist at a place between the center and insulation margins (), and the electrodes () are coupled in parallel to each other by fuses () disposed away from metallized contacts (). Such a structure as placing fuses () away from the contacts () allows reducing a current supplied from the contacts () and running through fuses (), thereby lowering heat generated from fuses (). As a result, a temperature rise in the metallized-film capacitor can be suppressed.
