Patent ID: 8325466

Claim:
A solid electrolytic capacitor comprising: a capacitor element from which an anode lead projects forward and having a surface on which a cathode layer is formed; an exterior resin covering the capacitor element; and an anode terminal and a cathode terminal including, respectively, an anode terminal surface and a cathode terminal surface which are exposed from a bottom surface of the exterior resin, the anode lead being electrically connected to the anode terminal, while the cathode layer being electrically connected to the cathode terminal, wherein the anode terminal is formed from one metal plate, and comprises: a terminal part having a bottom surface which is the anode terminal surface; a folded part folded back at a side edge of the terminal part and arranged on a top surface of the terminal part; and an upright part bent vertically to the top surface of the terminal part at a front edge or a rear edge of a tip end part of the folded part, wherein a tip end part of the anode lead is directly and electrically connected to a top end surface of the upright part.
