Abstract

An electrolytic capacitor having a low impedance characteristic, having a high withstand voltage characteristic of 100V class, wherein the electrolytic capacitor provides an excellent high temperature life characteristic and an excellent leakage characteristic. The electrolyte solution containing the aluminum tetrafluoride salt is used. The electrolytic capacitor of the present invention has a low impedance characteristic, a high withstand voltage characteristic, and an excellent high temperature life characteristic. Moreover, the aforementioned electrolyte solution is used, and a foil showing noble potential at least in the electrolyte solution than the electrode potential of the cathode tab, or a cathode electrode foil subjected to chemical treatment is used as the cathode electrode foil, so as to obtain an excellent leakage characteristic.

Claims (17)

1. An electrolytic capacitor, comprising:

a capacitor element formed by an anode electrode foil and a cathode electrode foil wound together with an intervening separator;

wherein the anode electrode foil has an anode leading means,

wherein the cathode electrode foil has a cathode leading means made of aluminum with a purity of 99.9% or more and the cathode electrode foil is made of aluminum subjected to a chemical treatment, and
