Abstract

A capacitance unit includes an anode portion, an insulating portion, a cathode portion and a colloid portion. The front end of the anode portion extends to from an anode terminal. The insulating portion surrounds the anode portion and covers a first partial surface of the anode portion. The cathode portion is disposed next to the insulating portion, and the cathode portion covers a second partial surface of the anode portion. The colloid portion is disposed next to the insulating portion, and the colloid portion surrounds the cathode portion and covers a partial surface of the cathode portion.
