Claim 4:
5. A film capacitor device, comprising:
a film stack being rectangular and including a plurality of dielectric films being stacked, each of the plurality of dielectric films including a plurality of metal strips extending in a first direction on a surface of the dielectric film, each of the plurality of dielectric films including an insulation margin extending in the first direction as a groove between adjacent metal strips of the plurality of metal strips, each of the plurality of dielectric films including, at an edge of the surface of the dielectric film in the first direction, an edge insulation area continuously extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the plurality of dielectric films including adjacent dielectric films in 180° opposite orientations in the first direction on the surface and alternate dielectric films having the edge insulation areas overlapping in a plan view;
external electrodes on a pair of end faces of the film stack in the first direction;
insulation areas electrically insulating metal strips of the plurality of metal strips at two ends of the film stack in the second direction from the external electrodes; and
an equipotential area electrically connecting metal strips exposed, among the metal strips at the two ends of the film stack in the second direction, at the pair of end faces of the film stack in the second direction to one another on the pair of end faces to cause the metal strips exposed at one end face of the pair of end faces to have the same potential.
