Abstract:
A capacitor comprising:a capacitor element comprising a dielectric layer, and an anode and a cathode that are arranged to support the dielectric layer therebetween; a planar anode terminal formed by prolonging the anode or connected with the anode; and a planar cathode terminal formed by prolonging the cathode or connected with the cathode, wherein the anode terminal and the cathode terminal are led out from the capacitor element in a same direction so as to be in parallel with each other, and at least a part of the anode terminal and at least a part of the cathode terminal overlap each other without contact in a direction perpendicular to a terminal plane of at least one terminal selected from the anode terminal and the cathode terminal, wherein a wiring conductor on a circuit board is used as at least one selected from the anode, the anode terminal, the cathode and the cathode terminal.
