Patent ID: 8248759

Claim:
A capacitor comprising: a capacitor element having a pair of electrode lead sections; an electrolyte impregnated in the capacitor element; a resin-made case containing the capacitor element and the electrolyte, and having an inner bottom and an open surface facing the inner bottom; a cover combined with the open surface of the case; and a pair of terminals to which the pair of electrode lead sections of the capacitor element are joined respectively, wherein each of the pair of terminals includes: a joint having a joint surface to which one of the electrode lead sections of the capacitor element is joined; L-shaped first and second intermediate conductive sections extendedly disposed in directions parallel with the joint surface and opposite to each other from both ends of the joint; a first terminal section disposed further extendedly from the first intermediate conductive section; a second terminal section disposed further extendedly from the second intermediate conductive section and placed symmetrically to the first terminal section about the joint, wherein the joint surface of the joint is disposed closer to the open surface than to the inner bottom of the case and is exposed from the case toward the open surface, a rim of the joint and the first and second intermediate conductive sections are embedded in the case, and the first and second terminal sections are partially guided outside from the case.
