Patent ID: 8400758

Claim:
A solid electrolytic capacitor comprising: a solid electrolyte type capacitor element including a dielectric layer intervening between an anode section and a cathode section; an anode terminal connected electrically to the anode section of the capacitor element through a pad member; and a cathode terminal connected electrically to the cathode section of the capacitor element, wherein on facing surfaces of the pad member and the anode terminal, a joint part which joins the pad member and the anode terminal electrically is formed at a position adjacent to a first lateral surface of the pad member located on the cathode terminal side, wherein a second lateral surface of the pad member on the opposite side to the first lateral surface, a partial area of a lateral end surface of the anode terminal, and a first end surface of the anode section are flush with each other, wherein a coating layer is formed on the second lateral surface of the pad member and the first end surface of the anode section, the coating layer having electrical insulating properties.
