Abstract:
1. A thin-type surface-mount capacitor comprising: a capacitor element comprising an anode body in the form of a plate-like or foil-like valve-action metal that is area-increased, and a cathode layer including a solid electrolyte in the form of a conductive functional polymer film; thermal adhesive insulating resin impregnated tapes provided on both sides of said capacitor element, respectively; and an element reinforcing metal plate and a solderable cathode terminal metal plate that are stuck to said thermal adhesive insulating resin impregnated tapes, respectively, wherein a thermal adhesive insulating resin of said thermal adhesive insulating resin impregnated tapes is cured under high temperature and pressure, and wherein end portions of said element reinforcing metal plate located outward of said cathode layer and corresponding to said anode body are applied with a stepping process that provides a difference in level corresponding to a substantial thickness of said cathode layer.
