ABSTRACT:
A capacitor device has a plurality of capacitors, each including a capacitor element having a positive electrode and a negative electrode in a confronting arrangement through a separator, and a metal case encasing the capacitor element and an electrolyte. The plurality of capacitors include a plurality of first capacitors, each using the metal case as a negative electrode, and a plurality of second capacitors, each using the metal case as a positive electrode. The capacitor device is characterized by a structure that a pair of the first capacitor and the second capacitor form a capacitor unit by having their metal cases coupled with a metal plate, a plurality of capacitor units form a subunit by being connected in series or parallel, and a plurality of subunits form a main unit by being connected in series or parallel. The invention helps facilitate connections when coupling the plurality of capacitor units, and substantially reduces a space required for the connections. The invention also decreases an undesirable resistance associated with the connections.
