Abstract
Abstract A tubular ceramic capacitor in which a lead terminal for leading out an internal electrode is formed of a Dumet wire, the internal electrode and an external electrode are plated to be formed at the inner and outer surfaces of a tubular ceramic dielectric except for both end faces thereof respectively, the lead terminal of the Dumet wire having a diameter substantially equal to a diameter of an inner bore of the dielectric where the internal electrode is formed and being inserted into the bore substantially throughout the whole length thereof so as to be fixedly soldered, and a metallic cap terminal having an inner diameter substantially equal to an outer diameter of the dielectric and a lead wire projecting from the outer surface of the closed end of the cap terminal, is fitted onto the dielectric in relation of contacting with the external electrode, thereby reducing an amount of solder used for mounting the lead terminal, thus making it possible to prevent the internal electrode from peeling off.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
182 words
A tubular ceramic capacitor, comprising: a tubular ceramic dielectric member having a bore of substantially uniform diameter formed through substantially the entire length thereof; external and internal electrodes formed on the outer and inner surfaces, respectively, of said dielectric member; a lead terminal formed of Dumet wire and extending from a position outside said dielectric member into said bore and through substantially the entire length of said bore, the portion of said lead terminal located in said bore being uniform and cylindrical in form and having a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of said bore; a solder interfacing the outer surface of said lead terminal and internal electrode, said solder serving to both physically and electrically connect said lead terminal to said internal electrode; and a conductive cap terminal having an inner diameter substantially equal to the outer diameter of said dielectric member and being fitted over the outer surface of said dielectric member so as to be in electrical contact with said external electrode, said cap terminal including a lead wire projecting from a closed end of said cap terminal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
182 words
A tubular ceramic capacitor, comprising: a tubular ceramic dielectric member having a bore of substantially uniform diameter formed through substantially the entire length thereof; external and internal electrodes formed on the outer and inner surfaces, respectively, of said dielectric member; a lead terminal formed of Dumet wire and extending from a position outside said dielectric member into said bore and through substantially the entire length of said bore, the portion of said lead terminal located in said bore being uniform and cylindrical in form and having a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of said bore; a solder interfacing the outer surface of said lead terminal and internal electrode, said solder serving to both physically and electrically connect said lead terminal to said internal electrode; and a conductive cap terminal having an inner diameter substantially equal to the outer diameter of said dielectric member and being fitted over the outer surface of said dielectric member so as to be in electrical contact with said external electrode, said cap terminal including a lead wire projecting from a closed end of said cap terminal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A tubular ceramic capacitor according to claim 1, wherein said solder interfaces substantially the entire outer surface of the portion of said lead terminal located in said bore and said internal electrode.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
A tubular ceramic capacitor according to claim 2, wherein said lead terminal extends from a first side of said ceramic member and said lead wire extends from a second opposite side of said ceramic member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
49 words
A tubular ceramic capacitor according to claim 3, wherein said cap member has a cylindrical portion whose inner diameter is substantially equal to the outer diameter of said ceramic member and which is in electrical and physical contact with said external electrode through the length of said cylindrical portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A tubular ceramic capacitor according to claim 4, wherein said cylindrical portion extends over substantially the entire outer surface of said ceramic member.
