Claim:
A solid electrolytic capacitor comprising: a capacitor element including an anode section, a cathode section, and a dielectric layer; and an insulating substrate in which an anode terminal and a cathode terminal are formed, the capacitor element being mounted on the insulating substrate and coated with an enclosure resin, wherein the anode terminal comprises: a first anode section formed on a first surface of the insulating substrate on which the capacitor element is mounted; a second anode section formed on a second surface of the insulating substrate located on an opposite side to the first surface; and an anode conductive layer which is formed on a side edge surface of the insulating substrate to electrically connect the first anode section and the second anode section to each other, the cathode terminal comprises: a first cathode section formed on the first surface of the insulating substrate; a second cathode section formed on the second surface of the insulating substrate; and a cathode conductive layer which is formed on the side edge surface of the insulating substrate to electrically connect the first cathode section and the second cathode section to each other, the anode section and the cathode section of the capacitor element are electrically connected to the first anode section and the first cathode section respectively, the second anode section and the second cathode section are exposed from the enclosure resin, and the anode conductive layer and the cathode conductive layer are exposed from the enclosure resin, wherein the solid electrolytic capacitor includes a first side surface and a second side surface facing each other in a direction in which the second anode and second cathode sections are arranged, and the enclosure resin includes at least either a first exposed surface or a second exposed surface, the first exposed surface being exposed from the anode conductive layer in the first side surface, the second exposed surface being exposed from the cathode conductive layer in the second side surface.
