Abstract:
1. A solid electrolytic capacitor comprising: a capacitor element including an anode section, a cathode section, and a dielectric layer; and an insulating substrate in which an anode terminal and a cathode terminal are formed, the capacitor element being mounted on the insulating substrate, wherein a first anode section and a first cathode section are formed on a first surface of the insulating substrate on which the capacitor element is mounted, so as to be spaced from each other in a first predetermined direction, a second anode section and a second cathode section are formed on a second surface of the insulating substrate which is on an opposite side to the first surface, so as to be spaced from each other in a second direction generally perpendicular to the first direction, the anode terminal comprises the first anode section and the second anode section, which are electrically connected to each other, the cathode terminal comprises the first cathode section and the second cathode section, which are electrically connected to each other, the capacitor element is arranged on the first surface of the insulating substrate with the anode section thereof being oriented in the first direction, and the anode section and the cathode section of the capacitor element are electrically connected to the first anode section and the first cathode section, respectively.
