Abstract:
1. A metallized film capacitor comprising: a plurality of capacitor elements composed of rolled up or multi-layered metallized films and provided with electrodes on both ends in the width direction; an electrical conductor to connect each of the electrodes of each end of a plurality of the capacitor elements; and a capacitor case to house a plurality of the capacitor elements, wherein a plurality of the capacitor elements are arranged facing a same direction in the capacitor case, placing each of the electrodes of each end generally coplanarly, and further using a resin as a sealant to house a plurality of the capacitor elements into the capacitor case; wherein each capacitor element is formed flattened, the capacitor case forms a rectangular solid having an opening surface and a bottom surface facing the opening surface, the capacitor elements are arranged such that one of the electrodes faces the opening surface and another of the electrodes faces the bottom surface respectively and are aligned in a plurality of lines toward a same direction; and a plurality of the capacitor elements are arranged in a zigzag formation toward a same direction.
