Film capacitor having a terminal electrode including a substrate connector, and method for producing film capacitor

A method for producing a film capacitor, the method comprising:

• forming a laminate of a dielectric film;
• forming a first electrode at a first end of the laminate;
• forming a second electrode at a second end of the laminate;
• connecting a terminal electrode having a connector with at least one of the first electrode or the second electrode, and having an extension extending from the connector in a substrate mounting direction along the first electrode or the second electrode from the connector;
• immersing the laminate to which the terminal electrode is connected in a liquid exterior material by inclining the extension of the terminal electrode from a direction perpendicular to a liquid surface of the exterior material;
• and
• curing the exterior material, wherein
• the exterior material covers the laminate, the first electrode, the second electrode, the connector, and at least a part of the extension,
• the film capacitor has a columnar shape having a side surface connecting the first electrode and the second electrode,
• the side surface has a curved part,
• at least the part of the extension is arranged at a first position shifted from a second position closest to a substrate in the curved part in a space between a region facing the substrate of the curved part and the substrate when the film capacitor is mounted on the substrate,
• the terminal electrode further includes a substrate connector extending in a direction along the substrate from the extension when the film capacitor is mounted on the substrate, and the substrate connector is arranged in the space.
