Abstract:
A chip type solid electrolytic capacitor comprising:a capacitor element comprising an oxide layer, an electrolyte layer and a cathode layer in succession on a molded and sintered valve metal anode body having an anode lead wire buried therein wherein said anode lead wire extends outside of the anode body;an anode lead frame with one end connected to said anode lead wire extending from said anode body and a second end serving as an anode terminal;a cathode lead frame with one end connected to said cathode layer of said capacitor element and a second end serving as a cathode terminal; andan electrically insulating resin package encapsulating said capacitor element, wherein part of each respective terminal of said anode and cathode lead frames extends outside resin package in the same plane as an outer surface of said resin package, and the anode and cathode frames remain flush with said outer surface, which serves as a mounting surface of said chip type solid electrolytic capacitor when said chip type solid electrolytic capacitor is mounted on a circuit board.
