Patent ID: 6975503

Claim:
A chip type solid electrolytic capacitor comprising: a capacitor element including an anode lead, a solid dielectric layer, and a cathode layer; an anode terminal which is electrically connected to an end region of said anode lead; a cathode terminal which is electrically connected to said cathode layer; and a resin package covering said capacitor element and a part of each of said anode terminal and said cathode terminal, said resin package including a package lower surface to be contacted to a mounting object and first and second package end surfaces adjacent to said package lower surface; wherein said anode terminal comprises: (i) an anode terminal lower surface exposed from said package lower surface, (ii) an anode terminal end surface adjacent to said anode terminal lower surface and exposed from said first package end surface, and (iii) an anode terminal dent surface in said anode terminal end surface, wherein said anode terminal dent surface extends upwardly from a boundary with said anode terminal lower surface and is plated; and wherein said cathode terminal comprises: (i) a cathode terminal lower surface exposed from said package lower surface, (ii) a cathode terminal end surface adjacent to said cathode terminal lower surface and exposed from said second package end surface, and (iii) a cathode terminal dent surface in said cathode terminal end surface, wherein said cathode terminal dent surface extends upwardly from a boundary with said cathode terminal lower surface and is plated.
