Patent ID: 7206193

Claim:
A surface-mount capacitor comprising a capacitor member comprising at least one capacitor element having an anode lead portion formed at an end portion thereof and a cathode portion formed at a center thereof, an anode terminal connected to the anode lead portion, and a cathode terminal connected to the cathode portion, wherein: the anode terminal and the cathode terminal have a flat shape and formed on a common plane as a substrate-mounted surface; the surface-mount capacitor being provided with a nonconductive case having a bottom portion filling a gap between the anode terminal and the cathode terminal and mechanically connecting the anode terminal and the cathode terminal, and side walls substantially perpendicular to the common plane; the anode terminal and the cathode terminal having a surface exposed on an inner bottom surface of the nonconductive case and connected to the anode lead portion and the cathode portion of the capacitor element.
