Patent ID: 7295426

Claim:
A solid electrolytic capacitor comprising a capacitor element including an anode portion and a cathode portion and having an anode lead member projected from the anode portion, an anode terminal electrically connected to the anode lead member, a cathode terminal placed on a reverse surface of the capacitor element and electrically connected to the cathode portion, and a mold resin portion coating the capacitor element, the anode terminal and the cathode terminal, the anode terminal and the cathode terminal being exposed from the mold resin portion, wherein a bolster member between the anode lead member and the anode terminal makes an electrical connection between the anode lead member and the anode terminal, the bolster member and the anode terminal being joined to each other by laser welding with a laser beam irradiated from the cathode terminal side, the bolster member being formed so as to have a rectangular cross section, and having both ends thereof extended to both side surfaces of the mold resin portion to expose both end surfaces thereof from both the side surfaces of the mold resin portion.
