Abstract

A film capacitor that includes a capacitor element having a metallized film including a resin film and a metal layer on a surface of the resin film; an outer case that houses the capacitor element; and a filling resin that fills a space between the capacitor element and the outer case, wherein a surface free energy of an inner surface of the outer case in contact with the filling resin is 44 mN/m or less.

Claims (29)

1. A film capacitor comprising:

a capacitor element having a metallized film including a resin film and a metal layer on a surface of the resin film;

an outer case that houses the capacitor element; and

a filling resin that fills a space between the capacitor element and the outer case,

wherein a surface free energy of an inner surface of the outer case in contact with the filling resin is 44 mN/m or less.

2. The film capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein the surface free energy is 34 mN/m or less.

3. The film capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein the surface free energy is 25 mN/m to 44 mN/m.

4. The film capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein a difference in coefficient of linear expansion between the outer case and the filling resin is 11 ppm/° C. or less.

5. The film capacitor according to claim 4 , wherein the difference in coefficient of linear expansion is more than 0 ppm/° C.

6. The film capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein the outer case is made of a resin composition.

7. The film capacitor according to claim 6 , wherein the resin composition contains a liquid crystal polymer.

8. The film capacitor according to claim 6 , wherein the resin composition contains polyphenylene sulfide.

9. The film capacitor according to claim 7 , wherein the resin composition further contains an inorganic filler, and an amount of the inorganic filler in the resin composition is 54 wt % or less.

10. The film capacitor according to claim 8 , wherein the resin composition further contains an inorganic filler, and an amount of the inorganic filler in the resin composition is 60 wt % or less.

11. The film capacitor according to claim 9 , wherein the amount of the inorganic filler in the resin composition is 30 wt % to 54 wt %.

12. The film capacitor according to claim 11 , wherein the inorganic filler contains a glass filler as a main component thereof.

13. The film capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein the outer case is made of a metal or an alloy.

14. The film capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein the filling resin contains an epoxy resin.

15. An outer case of a film capacitor, the outer case constructed to house a capacitor element having a metallized film including a resin film and a metal layer on a surface of the resin film, and to house a filling resin in a space between the capacitor element and the outer case, wherein a surface free energy of an inner surface of the outer case is 44 mN/m or less.

16. The outer case according to claim 15 , wherein the surface free energy is 34 mN/m or less.
