Abstract:
1. A solid electrolytic capacitor with face-down terminals, comprising: a capacitor element including a dielectric, an electrolyte, and a cathode layer formed in order on a surface of a porous sintered body made of a valve-action metal and having an anode lead drawn out therefrom; an anode terminal having one end connected to said anode lead and another end serving as an external connection terminal; a cathode terminal disposed so as to face said anode terminal and having one end electrically connected to said cathode layer of said capacitor element and another end serving as an external connection terminal; and a casing resin which covers said capacitor element, such that said anode terminal has, as exposed surfaces, a mount surface for mounting onto a board and a first external end surface substantially perpendicular to said mount surface, and such that said cathode terminal has, as exposed surfaces, a mount surface for mounting onto the board and a second external end surface substantially perpendicular to said mount surface; wherein said anode terminal comprises:
