Film capacitor, method of and apparatus for manufacturing the same.

摘要

A film capacitor having metallic layer electrodes 1a, organic dielectric films 1 interposed between the metallic layer electrodes 1a, and a pair of end surface electrodes 6 disposed at the opposite ends of the capacitor and alternately connected to the metallic layer electrodes 1a. The end surfaces of the dielectric films 1 adjacent to each other and located at the opposite end surfaces of the capacitor are formed with irregularities. This capacitor is manufactured by a method including: the steps of preparing a lamination or roll of a plurality of electrodes and organic dielectric films 1 interposed between the electrodes 1a; selectively removing portions of the dielectric films 1 at the electrode-lead-out-end sides of the roll or lamination where end surfaces of the dielectric films 1 are flush with those of the electrodes 1a by bringing surfaces of the roll or lamination at the electrode-lead-out-end sides in contact with a gas having at least a component reactive with the organic dielectric; and forming end-surface electrodes 6 at the electrode-lead-out-end sides.
