Abstract:
A solid electrolytic capacitor comprising:a capacitor element having a positive electrode and a negative electrode;a first lead electrically connected to said positive electrode;a second lead electrically connected to said negative electrode;a casing of a resin material surrounding said capacitor element;a low melting-point metal layer comprising a low melting-point metallic material with melting point between 300.degree. C. and 450.degree. C., said low melting-point metal layer electrically connecting said capacitor element and said second lead, said second lead having a throughhole where said second lead contacts said low melting-point metal layer; andan arc-extinguishing material filling said throughhole, said arc-extinguishing material being capable of absorbing said low melting-point metallic material when said low melting-point metal layer has melted.
