Patent ID: 8243421

Claim:
A method of manufacturing an electrolytic capacitor, comprising the ordered steps of: a first step of forming a wound-type capacitor element including a winding structure portion formed by winding an anode foil and a cathode foil with a separator being interposed and an anode terminal and a cathode terminal drawn from said winding structure portion; then a second step of inserting said anode terminal and said cathode terminal in openings in a fixing member, said fixing member having openings in number not smaller than a sum of number of said anode terminals and number of said cathode terminals; then a third step of impregnating said wound-type capacitor element with an electrolyte solution or a solid electrolyte; and then a fourth step of inserting said anode terminal and said cathode terminal in penetrating holes in a sealing member and accommodating said wound-type capacitor element in a bottomed case.
