Original Abstract Submitted

A capacitor includes a capacitor element, an outer shell member, and a film. The capacitor element includes a first end surface having a first electrode, a second end surface having a second electrode and a side surface extending between the first end surface and the second end surface. The outer shell member is provided on the first end surface and the second end surface and suppresses a permeation of moisture. The film overlaps with the outer shell member and covers the side surface, is lighter in weight per unit area than the outer shell member, and works together with the outer shell member to suppress the permeation of moisture into the capacitor element.
