Abstract:
A solid electrolytic capacitor, comprising:a capacitor element having an anode formed by embedding one end of an anode lead in a sintered body composed of valve acting metal from one side face of said sintered body and a cathode formed on a side wall of said sintered body; a first outside lead, to which the other end of said anode lead is welded; a second outside lead, to which said cathode is electrically connected; and a resin package covering said capacitor element; a tip end of said first outside lead, to which said other end of said anode lead is welded, being configured in such a manner as to have a capacity greater than those of other portions of said first outside lead, wherein a portion of said first outside lead, to which said anode lead is welded, is widely formed so that the capacity can be increased, and the other end of said anode lead bent in a lateral direction is welded to said first outside lead at the wide portion.
