Abstract:
1. A solid electrolytic capacitor, comprising: a capacitor element including an anode body, an anode member buried in the anode body, a dielectric layer, an electrolyte layer formed on the dielectric layer, and a cathode layer formed on the electrolyte layer, the anode member having a lower end portion exposed at a lower surface of the anode body, the dielectric layer being formed on part of a surface of the anode body that is in a region different from a region where the anode body contacts the anode member; an outer package member covering the capacitor element; an anode terminal electrically connected to the lower end portion of the anode member, and having a surface partially exposed at a lower surface of the outer package member; and a cathode terminal electrically connected to the cathode layer at a position below the lower surface of the anode body, and having a surface partially exposed at the lower surface of the outer package member, wherein the anode body has an outer circumference including a first side surface and a second side surface substantially opposite each other, the anode member extends between the first and second side surfaces, and includes a first edge surface and a second edge surface, the first edge surface being exposed at the first side surface and the second edge surface being exposed at the second side surface, and part of the dielectric layer is formed on the first edge surface whereas the dielectric layer is not formed on the second edge surface.
