The part is penetrated and connected to the internal positive and negative electrodes. The terminal is a metal foil of nickel, aluminum, copper or the like having a thickness of several tens to 100 μm.

The resin film 3 is previously fused and fixed to the polypropylene film layer on the inner surface of the package film 1 on the front side as shown in FIG. 2, and when the package film on the front side is overlaid on the package film on the back side,
As shown by the two-dot chain line, the terminal of both electrodes and the overlapping surface of the fused portion shown by oblique lines are covered. The resin film 3 strongly adheres to the flat portion of the terminal. In addition, the resin film 3 having a thickness equal to or greater than the thickness of the terminal fills a gap between the terminal side surface and the film 1 at the time of fusion, and strong adhesion is obtained also on the side surface, and as a result, a highly airtight seal is obtained.

The presence of the resin film 3 is effective for maintaining a reliable insulating layer between the terminal and the aluminum foil as the core material of the laminate film, and the contact between the terminal and the aluminum core material is effective. This is effective in preventing the occurrence of a short circuit between the two electrodes due to. That is, the thickness of the resin layer obtained by adding the thickness of the resin film 3 and the thickness of the fusion resin layer on the inner surface of the laminate film 1 exceeds the thickness of the terminal 4 or 5,
Even if the resin layer is melted during fusion, the resin layer is secured between the terminal and the aluminum core.

The terminal and the inner surface of the package are in contact with each other on the front and back surfaces. Inserting the resin film 3 on both surfaces is, of course, effective for airtightness and short circuit prevention. However, as described above, by setting the thickness of the resin film equal to or larger than the thickness of the terminal, it was confirmed that the insertion of only one of the front and back surfaces is sufficiently effective. By inserting only one side, productivity can be further improved compared to double-sided insertion.

When the adjacent sides are sealed by fusion, the fusion portion and the electrode shoulder are close to each other, and heat in the fusion process is transmitted to the shoulder. Also, in the fusing step, according to the thickness of the power generation element included when pressing the fusing surface of the front and back package films,
Tension is applied to the package film. When such heat and tension are applied, where the edges of the current collector abut,
The fusion resin layer on the inner surface of the package film was broken, and the current collector and the aluminum core material came into contact with each other, possibly resulting in a short circuit.

Further, as shown in the figure, the end of the resin film 3 'is located at the fusion part on the adjacent side, and the fusion is performed simultaneously with the fusion on the adjacent side, so that the side surface of the resin film where a gap is apt to occur is formed. It is possible to make the airtightness of the vehicle more complete. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, by making the width of the package film 1 and that of the resin film 3 the same, there is an advantage that the positioning in the step of fixing the film to the inner surface of the package can be facilitated.

When the thickness of the current collector is extremely small, several tens to 100 μm, there is a disadvantage that the strength of the connection between the terminal and the current collector is weak. However, as in the present invention, the entire connection is fused. Covering with a film and having a structure in which the whole is fused can compensate for insufficient strength. Further, in this structure, the tab portion protrudes by the thickness of the terminal, and a short circuit easily occurs due to the breakage of the resin layer on the inner surface of the package. However, since the resin film is arranged to cover the connection portion, Similarly,
Short circuit can be prevented.
