Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a plurality of solid electrolytic capacitors, said method comprising the steps of:providing a metal lead frame having a plurality of terminal sections disposed at a regular interval along the length of the metal lead frame with spaces there between, the spaces alternately comprising a cross piece extending across the width of the metal lead frame and an opening so that there is one cross piece for every two terminal sections; mounting an electrolytic capacitor element on each terminal section; locating a molding die over the metal lead frame so that a main runner of the molding die extends along the length of at least one side of the metal lead frame and sub-runners of the molding die extending from the main runner are positioned within the spaces comprising an opening; and injecting a molding resin onto the electrolytic capacitor elements through the main runner and sub-runners to encapsulate the electrolytic capacitor elements.
