Abstract:
A chip-type solid electrolytic capacitor having a mounting surface and comprising:a pair of capacitor elements laminated in a predetermined direction perpendicular to the mounting surface, each of the capacitor elements using a valve metal and having an anode member and a cathode layer mechanically coupled to the anode member; a pair of anode lead wires each of which is led out from the anode member in parallel to the mounding surface; an anode terminal connected to the anode lead wires; a cathode terminal connected to the cathode layer; and an encapsulating resin encapsulating the capacitor elements with the anode and the cathode terminals partially exposed, the anode terminal including two branches having branch end portions, respectively, which are formed by shaping, the branch end portions having shapes substantially same to each other so that the branch end portions overlap each other by rotation of 180Â° around a straight line at an intermediate position between the anode lead wires, the branch end portions being welded to the anode lead wires to produce welded portions, respectively.
