MOLDED CAPACITOR AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

Disclosed is a molded capacitor including a capacitor element coupling member, a cladding member that covers the capacitor element coupling member, and a support member embedded in the cladding member. The capacitor element coupling member contains a capacitor element having an electrode, and a bus bar that couples with the electrode of the capacitor element. The bus bar comprises a terminal portion. The cladding member covers the capacitor element coupling member in such a way that the terminal portion of the bus bar is exposed, and is constituted of a norbornene-based resin. The support member comprises a first end portion that abuts the capacitor element coupling member and a second end portion exposed through the cladding member, and is constituted of a thermally-conductive insulating material. The molded capacitor exhibits high heat resistance, is compact and lightweight, and can be inexpensively produced.
