Abstract:
1. A capacitor which employs a capacitor block made up of a plurality of capacitor elements which are electrically connected parallel to each other, each of the capacitor elements having terminals on respective ends thereof, comprising: a first electrode plate electrically connecting respective ones of the terminals of the capacitor elements; a second electrode plate electrically connecting respective other ones of the terminals of the capacitor elements and extending toward the ones of the terminals; and at least one bypass electrode plate electrically bypassing the second electrode plate; wherein the second electrode plate includes a connector electrically connecting the respective other ones of the terminals of the capacitor elements, an extension facing the first electrode plate, and a joint interconnecting the connector and the extension, the connector, the extension, and the joint being integral with each other; the bypass electrode plate includes a first joint electrically connected to the extension of the second electrode plate, a second joint electrically connected to the connector of the second electrode plate, and a third joint interconnecting the first joint and the second joint, the first joint, the second joint, and the third joint being integral with each other; the joint of the second electrode plate is positioned below a lower surface of the capacitor block; and the third joint of the bypass electrode plate is positioned in facing relation to a side of the capacitor block.
