Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the connection strength between an anode lead and an anode lead terminal, by providing a slit groove in the anode lead terminal which has its end portion bent substantially perpendicularly to the anode lead of a capacitor element, then forming a bent protrusion on either one of end portions of the slit groove, then holding the anode lead in pressurized contact, and welding the anode lead. SOLUTION: A cathode layer 6 is formed on an outer peripheral surface of an anode 8 of a capacitor element 1, and an anode lead 2 is led out. A cathode lead terminal 4 is connected to the cathode layer 6 by a conductive adhesive 7. On the other hand, an anode lead terminal 3 has its end portion bent perpendicularly to the anode lead 2, and a slit groove 10a having a smaller width than the anode lead is formed in a bent end portion 10. By inserting under pressure and holding the anode lead 2 in the slit groove 10a, or by welding and fixing the anode lead 2 after inserting under pressure and holding, electric connection between the anode lead terminal 3 and the anode lead 2 is ensured. Thus, reliability in connection between the anode lead and the anode lead terminal is provided.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a chip type solid electrolytic capacitor, and more particularly to a connection structure between an anode lead and an anode lead terminal.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The structure of a conventional chip-type solid electrolytic capacitor is shown in FIG. In the figure, 21 is a capacitor element made of a valve metal anode body, and 22 is an anode lead derived from the anode body, which is usually made of a metal which cannot be soldered. A cathode lead terminal 23 is connected to a cathode layer formed on the outer surface of the capacitor element. 24
As shown in FIGS. 2C and 2D, the anode lead terminal is bent at a substantially right angle with respect to the anode lead 22. A slit groove 25 is formed in the bent terminal portion, and the anode lead 22 is inserted. , Soldered. As described above, the anode lead 22 is made of a non-solderable metal, and even if it is formed of a solderable metal, the solder is melted by thermal stress or the like at the time of mounting, and the connection portion is opened. There were drawbacks. In addition, an anode lead terminal 24 that matches the size of the capacitor element 21 must be used, so that various kinds of anode lead terminals are required, and there is a problem that the man-hour for managing the anode lead terminals is increased (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-57).
145310).

[0003] In addition, FIG.
As shown in (a) and (b), it is disclosed that the connection is fixed by a plate-shaped anode lead terminal 33 having a bent portion for sandwiching the anode lead 32, but the connection strength is extremely high in the sandwich connection. However, there is a disadvantage that reliability is problematic. 31 is a capacitor element.

[0004]

A first problem with the above-described conventional chip-type solid electrolytic capacitor is that the reliability of connection between the anode lead and the anode lead terminal cannot be ensured. The reason is that the anode lead and the anode lead terminal cannot usually be soldered, and in the case of pinching connection fixing, there is a possibility that the anode lead and the anode lead can be easily opened by external pressure or the like.

[0005] The second problem is that a large number of anode lead terminals must be used properly, which requires a large number of management steps. The reason for this is that the connection position between the anode lead and the anode lead terminal varies depending on the size of the capacitor element, so that the anode lead terminal located at that position must be used, so that various types of anode lead terminals are required. .

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to eliminate the conventional drawbacks, to provide a capacitor having improved connection between the anode lead and the anode lead terminal, and to improve the reliability. Is to reduce.

[0007]

According to the present invention, there is provided a capacitor element in which a metal anode lead having a valve action is led out of an anode body of the same kind of metal, an anode and a cathode lead terminal are connected to the capacitor element, and In a chip-type solid electrolytic capacitor having a structure in which these lead terminals are exposed together with the capacitor element in a state where the external connection portions thereof are exposed, the end is substantially perpendicular to the anode lead of the capacitor element. A slit groove is provided in the bent anode lead terminal, and a bent protruding portion is formed at one of the ends of the slit groove, and the anode lead is pressed, clamped and welded.

[0008]

Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1A is a side sectional view of a chip-type solid electrolytic capacitor according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
(B) is an enlarged view of a connection portion between the anode lead and the anode lead terminal. As shown in the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a capacitor element, and a cathode layer 6 is formed on an outer peripheral surface of an anode body 8;
Is derived and configured. The cathode lead terminal 4 is connected to the cathode layer 6 by a conductive adhesive 7. on the other hand,
The anode lead terminal 3 is connected to the anode lead 2. The anode lead terminal 3 has an end bent at a right angle to the anode lead 2, and a bent end 10 is formed with a slit groove 10 a having a width smaller than that of the anode lead.

The anode lead 2 is pressed into the slit groove 10a so that the anode lead terminal 3 and the anode lead 2
To ensure conduction. At this time, since the connection position between the anode lead 2 and the anode lead terminal to be pressed and held is variable, the connection position is adjusted by the thickness of the capacitor element 1, and the cathode lead terminal connection distance b is kept constant.

In the chip type solid electrolytic capacitor manufactured in this manner, eight types of anode lead terminals are selectively used depending on the thickness of the capacitor element in the conventionally designed chip type solid electrolytic capacitor. did it.

Although one kind of anode lead terminal is used, the bending position of the cathode lead terminal is changed and the cathode lead terminal connection distance b can be kept constant, but ten kinds of cathode lead terminals are required. Even in such a case, one type of cathode lead terminal can be used.

As a second embodiment of the present invention, in order to more reliably connect an anode lead to an anode lead terminal in a chip type solid electrolytic capacitor, when punching a slit groove as shown in FIG. Slit groove punching piece 1
After the anode lead is press-fitted while leaving 0b, the anode lead and the slit groove punched piece 10b are welded. The chip-type solid electrolytic capacitor thus manufactured has a connection strength about 1.5 times that of the conventional chip-type solid electrolytic capacitor,
The variation was also reduced by 20% or more.

[0013]

The first effect of the present invention described above is that the connection strength between the anode lead and the anode lead terminal can be improved. This makes it possible to ensure the reliability of the connection between the anode lead and the anode lead terminal. The reason for this is to perform post-pressing / welding welding when connecting the anode lead to the anode lead terminal.

The second effect is that the number of steps for managing the anode lead terminals can be reduced. Thereby, the cost of the product can be reduced. The reason for this is that several types of anode lead terminals have been conventionally used properly and can be unified into one type.
