Abstract
A capacitor comprising a capacitor element, a case for housing the capacitor element, and a fixing section having projections for attaching the case to electrical equipment. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the case and the fixing section are unitarily molded. The fixing section and the capacitor case are formed of flame-resistant thermoplastic resins as required. This structure eliminates the need of components and tools for fixing the capacitor. Thus, the structure can improve workability, and reduce man-hours and manufacturing cost.
