Abstract:
1. A solid electrolytic capacitor, comprising: a capacitor element including an anode body, an anode member buried in the anode body, a dielectric layer, an electrolyte layer formed on the dielectric layer, and a cathode layer formed on the electrolyte layer, the anode member including a first anode component and a second anode component, at least a lower end portion of the first anode component being exposed at a lower surface of the anode body, the second anode component communicating with the first anode component and extending inside the anode body, the second anode component having a width greater than the width of the first anode component at least in a direction along the lower surface of the anode body, the dielectric layer being formed on part of a surface of the anode body that is in a region different from a region where the anode body contacts the anode member; an outer package member covering the capacitor element; an anode terminal electrically connected to the lower end portion of the first anode component, the anode terminal partially being placed at a lower surface of the outer package member; and a cathode terminal electrically connected to the cathode layer at a position below the lower surface of the anode body, the cathode terminal partially being placed at the lower surface of the outer package member.
