Abstract:
1. A chip-type capacitor including a capacitor element, an encapsulation resin covering an entirety of the capacitor element, an anode terminal having a base portion whose bottom surface is exposed on a mounting surface of the encapsulation resin and a standing-up portion perpendicular to the base portion and having one end connected to the base portion, and a cathode terminal having a bottom surface exposed on the mounting surface of the encapsulation resin, the capacitor element including a porous anode body made of a valve action metal in which an anode lead wire is buried with its one end led out therefrom, a dielectric oxide film formed on the anode body; an electrolyte layer formed on the dielectric oxide film, and a cathode layer formed on the electrolyte layer, the standing-up portion of the anode terminal having the other end welded to the anode lead wire so as to intersect therewith, the cathode terminal being connected and fixed through a conductive adhesive to the cathode layer so as to expose a bottom surface on the mounting surface of the encapsulation resin, wherein: the chip-type capacitor is provided with a depressed portion formed on each of opposite side surfaces of the encapsulation resin and extending in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the capacitor element, thereby partially exposing a top surface of each of the anode and the cathode terminals that is opposite to the bottom surface to form a terminal exposed portion exposed out of the encapsulation resin.
