 1.概要
 図10は、フィルムコンデンサ1の一例を示す。フィルムコンデンサ1は、例えば、円筒状をなしている。フィルムコンデンサ1は、例えば、2枚の細長い誘電体フィルム2(第1誘電体フィルム21及び第2誘電体フィルム22)を重ねて巻回することによって形成されている。
1. Outline FIG. 10 shows an example of a film capacitor 1 . The film capacitor 1 has, for example, a cylindrical shape. The film capacitor 1 is formed, for example, by stacking and winding two elongated dielectric films 2 (a first dielectric film 21 and a second dielectric film 22).
 ここで、第1誘電体フィルム21の片面には第1電極31が配置されている。第2誘電体フィルム22の片面には第2電極32が配置されている。フィルムコンデンサ1において、第1電極31及び第2電極32は、誘電体フィルム2を介して対向している。フィルムコンデンサ1の両端には端面電極30(第1端面電極310及び第2端面電極320)が形成されている。第1電極31は、第1端面電極310に接続されている。第2電極32は、第2端面電極320に接続されている。第1端面電極310及び第2端面電極320間に電圧を印加することにより、フィルムコンデンサ1を充電することができる。 Here, the first electrode 31 is arranged on one side of the first dielectric film 21 . A second electrode 32 is arranged on one side of the second dielectric film 22 . In the film capacitor 1 , the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 32 face each other with the dielectric film 2 interposed therebetween. Edge electrodes 30 (a first edge electrode 310 and a second edge electrode 320) are formed at both ends of the film capacitor 1 . The first electrode 31 is connected to the first edge electrode 310 . The second electrode 32 is connected to the second edge electrode 320 . By applying a voltage between the first edge electrode 310 and the second edge electrode 320, the film capacitor 1 can be charged.
 フィルムコンデンサ1は、誘電体フィルム2の短手方向S(幅方向)に1~3つの単位コンデンサ10を含み得る(図7A、図8A及び図9A参照)。以下、この点について説明する。なお、短手方向Sの一方側を「左側」、他方側を「右側」という場合がある。 The film capacitor 1 can include one to three unit capacitors 10 in the lateral direction S (width direction) of the dielectric film 2 (see FIGS. 7A, 8A and 9A). This point will be described below. In addition, one side of the transversal direction S may be called "left side" and the other side may be called "right side."
 図7Aに示すフィルムコンデンサ1は、誘電体フィルム2の短手方向Sに1つの単位コンデンサ10を含む。 The film capacitor 1 shown in FIG. 7A includes one unit capacitor 10 in the lateral direction S of the dielectric film 2. In FIG.
 図7Bに示すように、第1誘電体フィルム21の片面の右側端部には第1端部マージン部241が配置されている。第1端部マージン部241を除く第1誘電体フィルム21の片面全体には第1電極31が配置されている。第1電極31は、第1誘電体フィルム21の片面の左側端部を含み、この部分で第1端面電極310に接続されている(図7A参照)。第1端部マージン部241が存在することで、第1電極31と第2端面電極320とは離間している。 As shown in FIG. 7B, a first edge margin portion 241 is arranged on the right edge of one side of the first dielectric film 21 . The first electrode 31 is arranged on the entire one side of the first dielectric film 21 except for the first end margin portion 241 . The first electrode 31 includes the left end portion of one side of the first dielectric film 21 and is connected to the first edge electrode 310 at this portion (see FIG. 7A). The presence of the first edge margin portion 241 separates the first electrode 31 and the second edge electrode 320 from each other.
 一方、第2誘電体フィルム22の片面の左側端部には第2端部マージン部242が配置されている。第2端部マージン部242を除く第2誘電体フィルム22の片面全体には第2電極32が配置されている。第2電極32は、第2誘電体フィルム22の片面の右側端部を含み、この部分で第2端面電極320に接続されている(図7A参照)。第2端部マージン部242が存在することで、第2電極32と第1端面電極310とは離間している。 On the other hand, a second edge margin portion 242 is arranged at the left edge of one side of the second dielectric film 22 . A second electrode 32 is arranged on the entire one side of the second dielectric film 22 excluding the second end margin portion 242 . The second electrode 32 includes the right edge of one side of the second dielectric film 22 and is connected to the second edge electrode 320 at this portion (see FIG. 7A). The presence of the second end margin portion 242 separates the second electrode 32 from the first end face electrode 310 .
 そして、図7Aに示すように、誘電体フィルム2(第1誘電体フィルム21)を介して第1電極31と第2電極32とが対向する部分に、1つの単位コンデンサ10が形成される。 Then, as shown in FIG. 7A, one unit capacitor 10 is formed in a portion where the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 32 face each other with the dielectric film 2 (first dielectric film 21) interposed therebetween.
 また図8Aに示すフィルムコンデンサ1は、誘電体フィルム2の短手方向Sに直列に接続された2つの単位コンデンサ10を含む。 Also, the film capacitor 1 shown in FIG. 8A includes two unit capacitors 10 connected in series in the transverse direction S of the dielectric film 2 .
 図8Bに示すように、第1電極31は、第1マージン部211によって左右両側に分割されている。左側の第1電極31は、第1誘電体フィルム21の片面の左側端部を含み、この部分で第1端面電極310に接続されている。右側の第1電極31は、第1誘電体フィルム21の片面の右側端部を含み、この部分で第2端面電極320に接続されている(図8A参照)。 As shown in FIG. 8B, the first electrode 31 is divided into left and right sides by a first margin portion 211 . The left first electrode 31 includes the left end portion of one side of the first dielectric film 21 and is connected to the first edge electrode 310 at this portion. The right first electrode 31 includes the right end portion of one side of the first dielectric film 21 and is connected to the second edge electrode 320 at this portion (see FIG. 8A).
 一方、第2誘電体フィルム22の片面の左側端部及び右側端部には第2端部マージン部242が配置されている。両側の第2端部マージン部242の間の全体に第2電極32が配置されている。第2端部マージン部242が両側に存在することで、第2電極32と、第1端面電極310及び第2端面電極320とは離間している。 On the other hand, second edge margin portions 242 are arranged at the left edge and right edge of one side of the second dielectric film 22 . The second electrode 32 is arranged entirely between the second end margin portions 242 on both sides. The presence of the second edge margin portions 242 on both sides separates the second electrode 32 from the first edge electrode 310 and the second edge electrode 320 .
 そして、図8Aに示すように、誘電体フィルム2(第1誘電体フィルム21)を介して第1電極31と第2電極32とが対向する部分に、2つの単位コンデンサ10が形成される。これらの単位コンデンサ10は、短手方向Sに直列に接続されている。 Then, as shown in FIG. 8A, two unit capacitors 10 are formed in the portion where the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 32 face each other with the dielectric film 2 (first dielectric film 21) interposed therebetween. These unit capacitors 10 are connected in series in the lateral direction S. As shown in FIG.
 したがって、図7A及び図8Aに示すフィルムコンデンサ1に印加される電圧が同じ場合、図8Aに示すフィルムコンデンサ1の方が、単位コンデンサ10に印加される電圧が小さくなることにより、誘電体フィルム2の損傷を抑制しやすくなる。 Therefore, when the voltages applied to the film capacitors 1 shown in FIGS. 7A and 8A are the same, the film capacitor 1 shown in FIG. It becomes easier to suppress the damage of
 また図9Aに示すフィルムコンデンサ1は、誘電体フィルム2の短手方向Sに直列に接続された3つの単位コンデンサ10を含む。 Also, the film capacitor 1 shown in FIG. 9A includes three unit capacitors 10 connected in series in the transverse direction S of the dielectric film 2 .
 図9Bに示すように、第1電極31は、第1マージン部211によって左右両側に分割されている。左側の第1電極31は、第1誘電体フィルム21の片面の左側端部を含み、この部分で第1端面電極310に接続されている(図9A参照)。第1誘電体フィルム21の片面の右側端部には第1端部マージン部241が配置されている。右側の第1電極31は、第1マージン部211及び第1端部マージン部241の間の全体に配置されている。第1端部マージン部241が存在することで、右側の第1電極31と第2端面電極320とは離間している。 As shown in FIG. 9B, the first electrode 31 is divided into left and right sides by a first margin portion 211 . The left first electrode 31 includes the left edge of one side of the first dielectric film 21 and is connected to the first edge electrode 310 at this portion (see FIG. 9A). A first edge margin portion 241 is arranged at the right edge of one side of the first dielectric film 21 . The first electrode 31 on the right side is arranged entirely between the first margin portion 211 and the first end margin portion 241 . The presence of the first end margin portion 241 separates the right first electrode 31 and the second end face electrode 320 from each other.
 一方、第2電極32は、第2マージン部212によって左右両側に分割されている。右側の第2電極32は、第2誘電体フィルム22の片面の右側端部を含み、この部分で第2端面電極320に接続されている(図9A参照)。第2誘電体フィルム22の片面の左側端部には第2端部マージン部242が配置されている。左側の第2電極32は、第2端部マージン部242及び第2マージン部212の間の全体に配置されている。第2端部マージン部242が存在することで、左側の第2電極32と第1端面電極310とは離間している。 On the other hand, the second electrode 32 is divided into left and right sides by the second margin portion 212 . The right second electrode 32 includes the right edge of one side of the second dielectric film 22 and is connected to the second edge electrode 320 at this portion (see FIG. 9A). A second edge margin portion 242 is arranged at the left edge of one side of the second dielectric film 22 . The left second electrode 32 is disposed entirely between the second end margin portion 242 and the second margin portion 212 . The presence of the second edge margin portion 242 separates the left second electrode 32 from the first edge electrode 310 .
 そして、図9Aに示すように、誘電体フィルム2(第1誘電体フィルム21)を介して第1電極31と第2電極32とが対向する部分に、3つの単位コンデンサ10が形成される。これらの単位コンデンサ10は、短手方向Sに直列に接続されている。 Then, as shown in FIG. 9A, three unit capacitors 10 are formed in portions where the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 32 face each other with the dielectric film 2 (first dielectric film 21) interposed therebetween. These unit capacitors 10 are connected in series in the lateral direction S. As shown in FIG.
 したがって、図7A、図8A及び図9Aに示すフィルムコンデンサ1に印加される電圧が同じ場合、これらのフィルムコンデンサ1の中では、図9Aに示すフィルムコンデンサ1の単位コンデンサ10に印加される電圧が最も小さくなることにより、誘電体フィルム2の損傷を更に抑制しやすくなる。 Therefore, when the voltage applied to the film capacitors 1 shown in FIGS. 7A, 8A and 9A is the same, the voltage applied to the unit capacitor 10 of the film capacitor 1 shown in FIG. 9A is By making it the smallest, it becomes easier to suppress damage to the dielectric film 2 .
 本発明者は、複数の単位コンデンサ10が短手方向Sに直列に接続されたフィルムコンデンサ1に更に改良を加えて、以下のようなフィルムコンデンサ1を開発した。 The present inventor further improved the film capacitor 1 in which a plurality of unit capacitors 10 are connected in series in the lateral direction S, and developed the following film capacitor 1.
 すなわち、図1に示すように、第1電極31は、第1マージン部211により、2つの大分割電極7に分離されている。2つの大分割電極7の各々は、第1短手方向スリット部221により、複数の部分電極710に分割されている。 That is, as shown in FIG. 1 , the first electrode 31 is separated into two large split electrodes 7 by the first margin portion 211 . Each of the two large split electrodes 7 is split into a plurality of partial electrodes 710 by the first transverse direction slit portions 221 .
 一方、第2電極32は、小分割電極8である。小分割電極8の短手方向Sの両側に端部マージン部242が存在する。小分割電極8は、第2短手方向スリット部222により、複数の小電極群520に分割されている。小電極群520は、複数の小電極521を含む。 On the other hand, the second electrode 32 is the sub-divided electrode 8 . End margin portions 242 are present on both sides of the sub-divided electrode 8 in the lateral direction S. As shown in FIG. The sub-divided electrode 8 is divided into a plurality of sub-electrode groups 520 by the second lateral direction slit portions 222 . Small electrode group 520 includes a plurality of small electrodes 521 .
 そして、左側の大分割電極7と左側の小電極521とが誘電体フィルム2を介して対向する部分(図1のZ1部分)に、1つ目の単位コンデンサ10が形成される。また右側の大分割電極7と右側の小電極521とが誘電体フィルム2を介して対向する部分(図1のZ2部分)に、2つ目の単位コンデンサ10が形成される。これらの2つの単位コンデンサ10は、短手方向Sに直列に接続されている。 Then, the first unit capacitor 10 is formed in the portion (Z1 portion in FIG. 1) where the large divided electrode 7 on the left and the small electrode 521 on the left face each other with the dielectric film 2 interposed therebetween. A second unit capacitor 10 is formed in a portion (Z2 portion in FIG. 1) where the right large divided electrode 7 and the right small electrode 521 face each other with the dielectric film 2 interposed therebetween. These two unit capacitors 10 are connected in series in the lateral direction S. As shown in FIG.
 上述のように、第1電極31の2つの大分割電極7の各々は、複数の部分電極710に分割されているとともに、第2電極32の小分割電極8も、複数の小電極群520に分割されているので、第1電極31及び第2電極32間のある部分(例えば図1では点P)で絶縁破壊が起こったとしても、この絶縁破壊した部分へ他の部分(図1では点Q)から電流が流入することを、第1短手方向スリット部221及び第2短手方向スリット部222により抑制することができる。 As described above, each of the two large split electrodes 7 of the first electrode 31 is split into a plurality of partial electrodes 710, and the small split electrodes 8 of the second electrode 32 are also split into a plurality of small electrode groups 520. Since it is divided, even if a dielectric breakdown occurs in a certain portion (for example, point P in FIG. 1) between the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 32, the other portion (point P in FIG. 1) can be transferred to the portion where the dielectric breakdown occurred. Inflow of current from Q) can be suppressed by the first transverse direction slit portion 221 and the second transverse direction slit portion 222 .
 したがって、本実施形態によれば、絶縁破壊が起こったとしても、貫通破壊に至るリスクを低減することができる。ただし、本実施形態に係るフィルムコンデンサ1は、巻回型でも積層型でもよい。 Therefore, according to this embodiment, even if dielectric breakdown occurs, the risk of penetrating breakdown can be reduced. However, the film capacitor 1 according to this embodiment may be of the wound type or the laminated type.
 なお、本明細書において、「絶縁破壊」とは、誘電体フィルム2に電圧を加えた場合、印加電圧を維持し得なくなる現象を意味する。また「貫通破壊」とは、誘電体フィルム2の表面ではなく、内部を通じて生じる全路破壊を意味する。 In this specification, "dielectric breakdown" means a phenomenon in which when a voltage is applied to the dielectric film 2, the applied voltage cannot be maintained. "Through-hole breakdown" means a full-path breakdown that occurs not through the surface of the dielectric film 2 but through the inside.

<Dielectric film>
The dielectric film 2 is a film made of a dielectric. The dielectric is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
 誘電体フィルム2は、細長いフィルム状をなす。すなわち、誘電体フィルム2は、短手方向Sに対して直交する長手方向Lに延びるフィルムである。 The dielectric film 2 has an elongated film shape. That is, the dielectric film 2 is a film extending in the longitudinal direction L orthogonal to the lateral direction S. As shown in FIG.
 誘電体フィルム2は、第1面201と、第2面202と、を有する(図8A参照)。第1面201は、誘電体フィルム2の厚さ方向Tの一方側を向く面である。厚さ方向Tは、短手方向S及び長手方向Lに直交する方向である。第2面202は、第1面201の反対側の面である。すなわち、第2面202は、誘電体フィルム2の厚さ方向Tの他方側を向く面である。 The dielectric film 2 has a first surface 201 and a second surface 202 (see FIG. 8A). The first surface 201 is a surface facing one side in the thickness direction T of the dielectric film 2 . A thickness direction T is a direction orthogonal to the lateral direction S and the longitudinal direction L. As shown in FIG.

 本実施形態では、誘電体フィルム2は、第1誘電体フィルム21及び第2誘電体フィルム22を含む。 In this embodiment, the dielectric film 2 includes a first dielectric film 21 and a second dielectric film 22.
 <第1電極>
 第1電極31は、蒸着電極、金属箔電極、及びめっき電極のいずれでもよい。第1電極31の材質としては、特に限定されないが、例えば、アルミニウム等が挙げられる。
<First electrode>
The first electrode 31 may be any of a vapor deposition electrode, a metal foil electrode, and a plated electrode. The material of the first electrode 31 is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include aluminum.
 第1電極31は、誘電体フィルム2(本実施形態では第1誘電体フィルム21)の第1面201に配置されている。 The first electrode 31 is arranged on the first surface 201 of the dielectric film 2 (the first dielectric film 21 in this embodiment).
 第1電極31は、第1マージン部211により、2つの大分割電極7に分離されている。 The first electrode 31 is separated into two large split electrodes 7 by a first margin portion 211 .
 第1マージン部211は、第1誘電体フィルム21の第1面201において、第1電極31が配置されていない部分である。したがって、この部分は、誘電体フィルム2が露出している。第1マージン部211は、一定の幅で長手方向Lに延びている。 The first margin portion 211 is a portion of the first surface 201 of the first dielectric film 21 where the first electrode 31 is not arranged. Therefore, the dielectric film 2 is exposed at this portion. The first margin portion 211 extends in the longitudinal direction L with a constant width.
 2つの大分割電極7のうちの一方は、短手方向Sの一方側(左側)に配置された電極である。2つの大分割電極7のうちの他方は、短手方向Sの他方側(右側)に配置された電極である。 One of the two large split electrodes 7 is an electrode arranged on one side (left side) in the transverse direction S. The other of the two large split electrodes 7 is an electrode arranged on the other side (right side) in the transverse direction S. As shown in FIG.
 2つの大分割電極7の各々は、少なくとも1つ以上の第1短手方向スリット部221により、複数の部分電極710に分割されている。 Each of the two large split electrodes 7 is split into a plurality of partial electrodes 710 by at least one or more first transverse direction slits 221 .
 第1短手方向スリット部221は、第1誘電体フィルム21の第1面201において、第1電極31が配置されていない部分である。したがって、この部分も、第1マージン部211と同様に、誘電体フィルム2が露出している。第1短手方向スリット部221は、一定の幅で短手方向Sに延びている。第1短手方向スリット部221は、第1誘電体フィルム21の短手方向Sの一方側(左側)の端部及び他方側(右側)の端部とつながっている。したがって、第1短手方向スリット部221は、第1マージン部211と交差している。なお、本実施形態では、第1短手方向スリット部221の幅は、第1マージン部211の幅と同じであるが、本実施形態の効果を損なわない範囲で異なっていてもよい。 The first transverse direction slit portion 221 is a portion of the first surface 201 of the first dielectric film 21 where the first electrode 31 is not arranged. Accordingly, the dielectric film 2 is exposed in this portion as well as in the first margin portion 211 . The first lateral direction slit portion 221 extends in the lateral direction S with a constant width. The first transverse direction slit portion 221 is connected to one (left) end and the other (right) end of the first dielectric film 21 in the transverse direction S. As shown in FIG. Therefore, the first transverse direction slit portion 221 crosses the first margin portion 211 . In addition, in the present embodiment, the width of the first lateral direction slit portion 221 is the same as the width of the first margin portion 211, but may be different within a range that does not impair the effects of the present embodiment.
 複数の部分電極710は、長手方向Lに並んでいる。本実施形態では、部分電極710の形状は、矩形状であるが、特に限定されない。また本実施形態では、複数の部分電極710の大きさが同じであるが、本実施形態の効果を損なわない範囲で異なっていてもよい。 The plurality of partial electrodes 710 are arranged in the longitudinal direction L. In this embodiment, the shape of the partial electrode 710 is rectangular, but is not particularly limited. In addition, although the sizes of the plurality of partial electrodes 710 are the same in this embodiment, they may be different as long as the effects of this embodiment are not impaired.
 <第2電極>
 第2電極32も、第1電極31と同様に、蒸着電極、金属箔電極、及びめっき電極のいずれでもよい。第2電極32の材質も第1電極31の材質と同様である。
<Second electrode>
As with the first electrode 31, the second electrode 32 may also be any of a vapor deposition electrode, a metal foil electrode, and a plated electrode. The material of the second electrode 32 is also the same as the material of the first electrode 31 .
 第2電極32は、誘電体フィルム2(本実施形態では第1誘電体フィルム21)の第2面202に配置されている。換言すれば、本実施形態では、第2電極32は、第2誘電体フィルム22の第1面201に配置されている。 The second electrode 32 is arranged on the second surface 202 of the dielectric film 2 (the first dielectric film 21 in this embodiment). In other words, the second electrode 32 is arranged on the first surface 201 of the second dielectric film 22 in this embodiment.
 第2電極32は、小分割電極8である。小分割電極8の短手方向Sの両側に端部マージン部242が存在する。 The second electrode 32 is the subdivided electrode 8 . End margin portions 242 are present on both sides of the sub-divided electrode 8 in the lateral direction S. As shown in FIG.
 端部マージン部242は、第2誘電体フィルム22の短手方向Sの一方側(左側)の端部及び他方側(右側)の端部に存在する。端部マージン部242は、第2電極32が配置されていない部分である。したがって、この部分は、誘電体フィルム2が露出している。端部マージン部242は、一定の幅で長手方向Lに延びている。端部マージン部242が存在することで、第2電極32(小分割電極8)と、第1端面電極310及び第2端面電極320とは離間し得る。 The end margin portions 242 are present at one (left) end and the other (right) end in the transverse direction S of the second dielectric film 22 . The end margin portion 242 is a portion where the second electrode 32 is not arranged. Therefore, the dielectric film 2 is exposed at this portion. The end margin portion 242 extends in the longitudinal direction L with a constant width. The existence of the end margin portion 242 allows the second electrode 32 (the sub-divided electrode 8) to be separated from the first end surface electrode 310 and the second end surface electrode 320 .
 さらに小分割電極8は、少なくとも1つ以上の第2短手方向スリット部222により、複数の小電極群520に分割されている。 Further, the sub-divided electrode 8 is divided into a plurality of sub-electrode groups 520 by at least one or more second lateral direction slits 222 .
 第2短手方向スリット部222は、第2誘電体フィルム22の第1面201において、第2電極32が配置されていない部分である。したがって、この部分も、端部マージン部242と同様に、誘電体フィルム2が露出している。第2短手方向スリット部222は、一定の幅で短手方向Sに延びている。第2短手方向スリット部222は、左右両側の端部マージン部242とつながっている。なお、本実施形態では、第2短手方向スリット部222の幅は、端部マージン部242の幅と同じであるが、本実施形態の効果を損なわない範囲で異なっていてもよい。さらに本実施形態では、第2短手方向スリット部222の幅は、第1短手方向スリット部221の幅と同じであるが、本実施形態の効果を損なわない範囲で異なっていてもよい。 The second lateral direction slit portion 222 is a portion of the first surface 201 of the second dielectric film 22 where the second electrode 32 is not arranged. Accordingly, the dielectric film 2 is exposed in this portion as well as in the edge margin portion 242 . The second transverse direction slit portion 222 extends in the transverse direction S with a constant width. The second lateral direction slit portion 222 is connected to the left and right end margin portions 242 . In addition, in the present embodiment, the width of the second lateral direction slit portion 222 is the same as the width of the end margin portion 242, but may be different within a range that does not impair the effects of the present embodiment. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the width of the second transverse direction slit portion 222 is the same as the width of the first transverse direction slit portion 221, but may differ within a range that does not impair the effects of the present embodiment.
 複数の小電極群520は、長手方向Lに並んでいる。小電極群520は、複数(本実施形態では2つ)の小電極521を含む。 The plurality of small electrode groups 520 are arranged in the longitudinal direction L. The small electrode group 520 includes a plurality of (two in this embodiment) small electrodes 521 .
 複数の小電極521は、短手方向Sに並んでいる。本実施形態では、小電極521の形状は、矩形状であるが、特に限定されない。また本実施形態では、複数の小電極521の大きさが同じであるが、本実施形態の効果を損なわない範囲で異なっていてもよい。 The plurality of small electrodes 521 are arranged in the lateral direction S. In this embodiment, the shape of the small electrodes 521 is rectangular, but is not particularly limited. In addition, although the sizes of the plurality of small electrodes 521 are the same in this embodiment, they may be different as long as the effects of this embodiment are not impaired.
 複数の小電極群520の各々に含まれる複数の小電極521は、ヒューズ62で接続されている。ヒューズ62は、過大な電流が流れると溶けて、回路を遮断する部分である。ヒューズ62は、短手方向Sに隣り合う小電極521同士を接続している。ヒューズ62の幅は、小電極521の長手方向Lの長さよりも短い。 A plurality of small electrodes 521 included in each of the plurality of small electrode groups 520 are connected by fuses 62 . The fuse 62 is a part that melts and cuts off the circuit when an excessive current flows. The fuse 62 connects the small electrodes 521 adjacent to each other in the lateral direction S. As shown in FIG. The width of the fuse 62 is shorter than the length of the small electrode 521 in the longitudinal direction L.
 以上説明した第2電極32は、誘電体フィルム2(本実施形態では第1誘電体フィルム21)を介して第1電極31と対向している。 The second electrode 32 described above faces the first electrode 31 via the dielectric film 2 (the first dielectric film 21 in this embodiment).
 具体的には、第2電極32(小分割電極8)が、誘電体フィルム2を介して、第1電極31の左側の大分割電極7と対向する部分(図1のZ1部分)が存在する。より詳細に言えば、第2電極32の左側の小電極521は、誘電体フィルム2を介して、第1電極31の左側の部分電極710と対向している。この部分に1つ目の単位コンデンサ10が形成される。 Specifically, there is a portion (Z1 portion in FIG. 1) where the second electrode 32 (the small segmented electrode 8) faces the large segmented electrode 7 on the left side of the first electrode 31 through the dielectric film 2. . More specifically, the left small electrode 521 of the second electrode 32 faces the left partial electrode 710 of the first electrode 31 with the dielectric film 2 interposed therebetween. A first unit capacitor 10 is formed in this portion.
 また第2電極32(小分割電極8)が、誘電体フィルム2を介して、第1電極31の右側の大分割電極7と対向する部分(図1のZ2部分)が存在する。より詳細に言えば、第2電極32の右側の小電極521は、誘電体フィルム2を介して、第1電極31の右側の部分電極710と対向している。この部分に2つ目の単位コンデンサ10が形成される。 There is also a portion (Z2 portion in FIG. 1) where the second electrode 32 (the small segmented electrode 8) faces the large segmented electrode 7 on the right side of the first electrode 31 with the dielectric film 2 interposed therebetween. More specifically, the small electrode 521 on the right side of the second electrode 32 faces the partial electrode 710 on the right side of the first electrode 31 with the dielectric film 2 interposed therebetween. A second unit capacitor 10 is formed in this portion.
 本実施形態に係るフィルムコンデンサ1は、複数の単位コンデンサ群(図1の一点鎖線で囲まれたC部分が1つの単位コンデンサ群)を含む。複数の単位コンデンサ群は、長手方向Lに並んでいる。複数の単位コンデンサ群の各々は、端面電極30(第1端面電極310及び第2端面電極320)と接続される。つまり、複数の単位コンデンサ群は、並列に接続される。各単位コンデンサ群は、短手方向Sに直列に接続された2つの単位コンデンサ10を含む。 The film capacitor 1 according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of unit capacitor groups (one unit capacitor group is a portion C surrounded by a dashed line in FIG. 1). A plurality of unit capacitor groups are arranged in the longitudinal direction L. Each of the plurality of unit capacitor groups is connected to the facet electrode 30 (the first facet electrode 310 and the second facet electrode 320). That is, a plurality of unit capacitor groups are connected in parallel. Each unit capacitor group includes two unit capacitors 10 connected in series in the transverse direction S. As shown in FIG.
 <作用効果>
 例えば、図8に示すように、点Pにおいて絶縁破壊が起こった場合、点Pの周囲から点Pに向かって電流が流入し得る。点Pの周囲の一点を点Qとすると、点Qから点Pに向かって直線的な経路で電流が流入し得る。これにより、絶縁破壊から直ちに貫通破壊に至るおそれがある。
<Effect>
For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when a dielectric breakdown occurs at point P, a current can flow from around point P toward point P. In FIG. Assuming that a point around point P is point Q, current can flow from point Q toward point P along a straight path. As a result, dielectric breakdown may lead to penetration breakdown immediately.
 点Qから点Pへ直線的に電流が流入する理由の1つとして、第1電極31が長手方向Lに延びるベタ状をなす電極であることが挙げられる。 One of the reasons why the current flows linearly from the point Q to the point P is that the first electrode 31 is a solid electrode extending in the longitudinal direction L.
 これに対して、本実施形態では、例えば、図1に示すように、ある部分電極710上の点Pにおいて絶縁破壊が起こった場合、他の部分電極710上の点Qから点Pに向かって電流が流入しにくい。つまり、電流の集中が緩和される。その理由の1つとして、点Pが存在する部分電極710と、点Qが存在する部分電極710とは、第1短手方向スリット部221によって隔てられていることが挙げられる。換言すれば、第1電極31が長手方向Lに複数に分割されていることが挙げられる。 On the other hand, in this embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, when a dielectric breakdown occurs at a point P on a certain partial electrode 710, a It is difficult for current to flow in. That is, current concentration is alleviated. One of the reasons is that the partial electrode 710 where the point P exists and the partial electrode 710 where the point Q exists are separated by the first lateral direction slit portion 221 . In other words, the first electrode 31 is divided in the longitudinal direction L into a plurality of parts.
 このように、本実施形態では、第1電極31の2つの大分割電極7の各々は、複数の部分電極710に分割されているとともに、第2電極32の小分割電極8も、複数の小電極群520に分割されているので、第1電極31及び第2電極32間のある部分で絶縁破壊が起こったとしても、この絶縁破壊した部分へ他の部分から電流が流入することを、第1短手方向スリット部221及び第2短手方向スリット部222により抑制することができる。 Thus, in this embodiment, each of the two large split electrodes 7 of the first electrode 31 is split into a plurality of partial electrodes 710, and the small split electrodes 8 of the second electrode 32 are also split into a plurality of small electrodes. Since it is divided into the electrode group 520, even if a dielectric breakdown occurs in a certain portion between the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 32, it is possible to prevent current from flowing into this dielectrically broken portion from other portions. It can be suppressed by the first lateral direction slit portion 221 and the second lateral direction slit portion 222 .

In addition, in the present embodiment, the width of the second end margin portion 242 is the same as the width of the second margin portion 212, but may be different within a range that does not impair the effects of the present embodiment.
 さらに第2小分割電極82は、少なくとも1つ以上の第2短手方向スリット部222により、複数の第2小電極群520に分割されている。 Furthermore, the second sub-divided electrode 82 is divided into a plurality of second sub-electrode groups 520 by at least one or more second lateral direction slits 222 .

In addition, although the sizes of the plurality of second small electrodes 521 are the same in this embodiment, they may be different as long as the effects of this embodiment are not impaired.
 複数の第2小電極群520の各々に含まれる複数の第2小電極521は、第2ヒューズ62で接続されている。第2ヒューズ62は、第1ヒューズ61と同様に、過大な電流が流れると溶けて、回路を遮断する部分である。第2ヒューズ62は、短手方向Sに隣り合う第2小電極521同士を接続している。第2ヒューズ62の幅は、第2小電極521の長手方向Lの長さよりも短い。 A plurality of second small electrodes 521 included in each of the plurality of second small electrode groups 520 are connected by a second fuse 62 .

 <作用効果>
 本実施形態によれば、第1実施形態と同様の作用効果に加えて、以下のような作用効果も奏する。
<Effect>
According to this embodiment, in addition to the same effects as those of the first embodiment, the following effects are also achieved.
 本実施形態によれば、フィルムコンデンサ1を高電圧で使用しても、全体としての機能を保持することができる。 According to this embodiment, even if the film capacitor 1 is used at a high voltage, the function as a whole can be maintained.
 すなわち、本実施形態に係るフィルムコンデンサ1は、図9Aに示すフィルムコンデンサ1と同様に、誘電体フィルム2の短手方向Sに直列に接続された3つの単位コンデンサ10を含む。そのため、図7A及び図8Aに示すフィルムコンデンサ1の第1端面電極310及び第2端面電極320間に印加される電圧と、本実施形態に係るフィルムコンデンサ1の第1端面電極310及び第2端面電極320間に印加される電圧とが同じである場合、図7A及び図8Aに示すフィルムコンデンサ1の単位コンデンサ10に印加される電圧よりも、本実施形態に係るフィルムコンデンサ1の単位コンデンサ10に印加される電圧の方が小さくなることにより、誘電体フィルム2の損傷を更に抑制しやすくなる。 That is, the film capacitor 1 according to this embodiment includes three unit capacitors 10 connected in series in the transverse direction S of the dielectric film 2, like the film capacitor 1 shown in FIG. 9A. Therefore, the voltage applied between the first end surface electrode 310 and the second end surface electrode 320 of the film capacitor 1 shown in FIGS. 7A and 8A and the first end surface electrode 310 and the second end surface of the film capacitor 1 according to the present embodiment When the voltage applied between the electrodes 320 is the same, the voltage applied to the unit capacitor 10 of the film capacitor 1 according to the present embodiment is higher than the voltage applied to the unit capacitor 10 of the film capacitor 1 shown in FIGS. 7A and 8A. By reducing the applied voltage, it becomes easier to suppress damage to the dielectric film 2 .
 さらに本実施形態に係るフィルムコンデンサ1では、図2に示すように、複数の第1小電極511は、第1ヒューズ61で接続されているとともに、複数の第2小電極521は、第2ヒューズ62で接続されている。そのため、第1電極31及び第2電極32間の一部が短絡しても、第1ヒューズ61及び第2ヒューズ62の少なくともいずれかが切断される。 Furthermore, in the film capacitor 1 according to this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the plurality of first small electrodes 511 are connected by the first fuse 61, and the plurality of second small electrodes 521 are connected by the second fuse. 62 are connected. Therefore, even if a part between the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 32 is short-circuited, at least one of the first fuse 61 and the second fuse 62 is disconnected.
 したがって、本実施形態によれば、フィルムコンデンサ1を高電圧で使用しても、全体としての機能を保持することができる。 Therefore, according to this embodiment, even if the film capacitor 1 is used at a high voltage, the function as a whole can be maintained.

In the third embodiment, components similar to those in the first and second embodiments are given the same reference numerals as those in the first and second embodiments, and detailed description thereof may be omitted.
 図3に示すように、本実施形態に係るフィルムコンデンサ1は、短手方向Sに直列に接続された3つの単位コンデンサ10を含む点では、図2に示す第2実施形態に係るフィルムコンデンサ1と共通するが、第1接続部91及び第2接続部92が更に存在する点で、第2実施形態に係るフィルムコンデンサ1と相違する。以下、特に第2実施形態との相違点を中心に説明する。 As shown in FIG. 3, the film capacitor 1 according to the present embodiment includes three unit capacitors 10 connected in series in the transverse direction S. , but differs from the film capacitor 1 according to the second embodiment in that a first connection portion 91 and a second connection portion 92 are further present. In the following, the description will focus on the differences from the second embodiment.
 <第1電極>

<First electrode>
In this embodiment, the first connection portion 91 is present at one side (left side) end in the transverse direction S of the dielectric film 2 (first dielectric film 21). The first connecting portion 91 exists between the first partial electrodes 710 adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction L. As shown in FIG. In this manner, the plurality of first partial electrodes 710 are connected by the first connecting portion 91 .
 第1接続部91は、導電性を有する。そのため、第1接続部91は、第1電極31の一部として形成されていてもよい。すなわち、第1接続部91は、蒸着電極、金属箔電極、及びめっき電極のいずれでもよい。第1接続部91の材質としては、特に限定されないが、例えば、アルミニウム等が挙げられる。 The first connecting portion 91 has conductivity. Therefore, the first connecting portion 91 may be formed as part of the first electrode 31 . That is, the first connection portion 91 may be any of a vapor deposition electrode, a metal foil electrode, and a plated electrode. The material of the first connecting portion 91 is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include aluminum.
 誘電体フィルム2(第1誘電体フィルム21)の短手方向Sにおいて、第1接続部91の長さは、第1部分電極710の長さよりも短い。したがって、長手方向Lに隣り合う第1部分電極710間には、第1接続部91と、第1短手方向スリット部221と、が存在する。 The length of the first connecting portion 91 is shorter than the length of the first partial electrode 710 in the lateral direction S of the dielectric film 2 (first dielectric film 21). Therefore, between the first partial electrodes 710 adjacent in the longitudinal direction L, the first connecting portion 91 and the first transverse direction slit portion 221 are present.
 <第2電極>
 本実施形態では、第2接続部92は、誘電体フィルム2(第2誘電体フィルム22)の短手方向Sの他方側(右側)端部に存在する。第2接続部92は、長手方向Lに隣り合う第2部分電極720間に存在する。このようにして、複数の第2部分電極720は、第2接続部92で接続されている。

In this manner, the plurality of second partial electrodes 720 are connected by the second connecting portion 92 .
 第2接続部92は、第1接続部91と同様に、導電性を有する。そのため、第2接続部92は、第2電極32の一部として形成されていてもよい。すなわち、第2接続部92は第1接続部91と同様に、蒸着電極、金属箔電極、及びめっき電極のいずれでもよい。第2接続部92の材質も第1接続部91の材質と同様である。 The second connection part 92 has conductivity, like the first connection part 91 . Therefore, the second connection portion 92 may be formed as part of the second electrode 32 . That is, like the first connection portion 91, the second connection portion 92 may be any of a vapor deposition electrode, a metal foil electrode, and a plated electrode. The material of the second connection portion 92 is also the same as the material of the first connection portion 91 .
 誘電体フィルム2(第2誘電体フィルム22)の短手方向Sにおいて、第2接続部92の長さは、第2部分電極720の長さよりも短い。したがって、長手方向Lに隣り合う第2部分電極720間には、第2接続部92と、第2短手方向スリット部222と、が存在する。 The length of the second connecting portion 92 is shorter than the length of the second partial electrode 720 in the lateral direction S of the dielectric film 2 (second dielectric film 22). Therefore, between the second partial electrodes 720 adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction L, the second connecting portion 92 and the second lateral direction slit portion 222 are present.
 本実施形態に係るフィルムコンデンサ1も、第2実施形態と同様に、複数の単位コンデンサ群を含む。複数の単位コンデンサ群は、長手方向Lに並んでいる。複数の単位コンデンサ群の各々は、端面電極30(第1端面電極310及び第2端面電極320)と接続される。つまり、複数の単位コンデンサ群は、並列に接続される。各単位コンデンサ群は、短手方向Sに直列に接続された3つの単位コンデンサ10を含む。ただし、本実施形態の複数の単位コンデンサ群は、第1接続部91及び第2接続部92によって接続されている。 A film capacitor 1 according to this embodiment also includes a plurality of unit capacitor groups, as in the second embodiment. A plurality of unit capacitor groups are arranged in the longitudinal direction L. Each of the plurality of unit capacitor groups is connected to the facet electrode 30 (the first facet electrode 310 and the second facet electrode 320). That is, a plurality of unit capacitor groups are connected in parallel. Each unit capacitor group includes three unit capacitors 10 connected in series in the transverse direction S. As shown in FIG. However, the plurality of unit capacitor groups in this embodiment are connected by the first connection portion 91 and the second connection portion 92 .

 本実施形態では、複数の第1部分電極が第1接続部91で接続されているとともに、複数の第2部分電極が第2接続部92で接続されている。すなわち、複数の単位コンデンサ群が、第1接続部91及び第2接続部92によって接続されている。 In this embodiment, a plurality of first partial electrodes are connected by the first connecting portion 91 and a plurality of second partial electrodes are connected by the second connecting portion 92 . That is, a plurality of unit capacitor groups are connected by the first connection portion 91 and the second connection portion 92 .
 したがって、複数の単位コンデンサ群同士の容量の差を小さくすることができる。また第1大分割電極71と第1端面電極310との接続面積の減少を抑制することができる。また第2大分割電極72と第2端面電極320との接続面積の減少を抑制することができる。 Therefore, it is possible to reduce the difference in capacitance between the plurality of unit capacitor groups. In addition, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the connection area between the first large segmented electrode 71 and the first end surface electrode 310 . Also, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the connection area between the second large segmented electrode 72 and the second end surface electrode 320 .
 さらに本実施形態では、例えば、図3に示すように、ある部分電極710上の点Pにおいて絶縁破壊が起こった場合、他の部分電極710上の点Qから点Pに向かって電流が直線的に流入しにくい。すなわち、電流は、点Qから第1接続部91を通って点Pに至る迂回路を流れやすくなるので、絶縁破壊から貫通破壊に至るまでの時間を稼ぐことができる。したがって、貫通破壊のリスクを低減することができる。 Furthermore, in this embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. difficult to flow into. That is, the current can easily flow through the detour path from the point Q to the point P through the first connecting portion 91, so that it is possible to gain time from dielectric breakdown to penetration breakdown. Therefore, the risk of penetrating destruction can be reduced.
