Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a solid electrolytic capacitor, with use of a mold which comprises a pair of horizontally movable pressure blocks facing each other to define a molding space, each of the pressure blocks having a sloping face; a fixed block supporting the pair of pressure blocks; and a vertical movement block positioned above the pair of pressure blocks, the vertical movement block having sloping faces for engagement with the sloping faces of the pressure blocks; to method comprising the steps of: filling the molding space with valve metal powder; and compressing the powder by bringing the pair of pressure blocks toward each other for forming a flattened porous body; wherein the compression of the powder is performed by lowering the vertical movement block for bring the sloping faces of the vertical movement block toward and into engagement with the sloping faces of the pressure blocks.
