A process is provided for making a package-type fused solid electrolytic capacitor. In the process, a capacitor element having a chip body and an anode wire is first mounted between an opposed pair of anode and cathode leads with the anode wire attached to the anode lead, the cathode lead having a tip cutout. Then, a material fuse wire is connected to the chip body and the cathode lead with an intermediate portion of the material fuse wire located in the tip cutout of the cathode lead. Then, a resin package is molded to enclose the capacitor element together with the material fuse wire. Then, the resin package is separated from the anode and cathode leads by cutting. Then, an anode terminal electrode and a cathode terminal electrode are formed on the resin package in electrical conduction with the anode wire and the fuse wire, respectively.

The capacitor element includes a sintered body 3 of valve metal powder, an anode 4a provided by embedding an anode wire 4 in the sintered body, and a cathode 5 provided by forming a metal layer on the sintered body. A first lead member 6 in the form of a plate is connected to the anode wire 4. The end of the first lead member projects from a side surface 9a of the resin package 9 to provide an anode terminal T1. A second lead member 7 in the form of a plate is connected to the cathode 5. The end of the second lead member projects from a side surface 9b of the resin package 9 to provide a cathode terminal T2. By extending the first and the second lead members 6 and 7 generally horizontally at the substantially same height from the lower end of the resin package and making the portions projecting from the resin package 9 serve as the anode terminal T1 and the cathode terminal T2, the lead length between the anode 4a of the capacitor element 2 and the anode terminal T1 and the lead length between the cathode 5 and the cathode terminal T2 is made as short as possible, whereby ESL is reduced.
Abstract:
A method is provided for making a solid electrolytic capacitor comprising a flattened porous body. According to this method, use is made of a pair of pressure blocks and a vertical movement block for engagement with the pair of pressure blocks. The pair of pressure blocks face each other and are horizontally movable. A space is formed between these two pressure blocks for loading powder made of a valve metal. The powder loaded in the space is compressed by the pair of pressure blocks to form a flattened porous body. The compression by the pair of pressure blocks is brought about by a downward motion of the vertical movement block held in engagement with the pair of pressure blocks.
