Abstract:
1. A capacitor comprising: a capacitor device including an anode part and a cathode part; and a substrate including a device mounting region for mounting the capacitor device, the device mounting region extending in one direction and having a short dimension and a long dimension that is greater than the short dimension, the long dimension extending in a longitudinal direction; wherein the substrate includes: a main part formed with first and second conduction paths penetrating therethrough from a front face to a rear face; first and second electrodes disposed in the device mounting region on the front face, the first and second electrodes being connected to the anode and cathode parts, respectively; and first and second outer electrodes disposed on the rear face, the first and second outer electrodes being electrically connected to the first and second electrodes by way of the first and second conduction paths, respectively; wherein the first and second electrodes are arranged in a row in the longitudinal direction of the device mounting region; the first and second outer electrodes include first and second connection areas for connecting with external wiring; and the first and second connection areas extend in the longitudinal direction of the device mounting region, and are arranged in a row in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction.
