Patent ID: 6903922

Claim:
An anode terminal used for preparing a chip type capacitor comprising a solid electrolytic capacitor element including an element body having an anode body, a dielectric and a cathode body, and an anode lead wire partially extending from the anode body of the element body, said anode terminal comprising: a recess configured for resting the extending portion of the anode lead wire; and at least one protrusion located beside the recess and above a level coinciding with a top of the extending portion of the anode lead wire when the anode lead wire is rested on the recess, wherein said protrusion is configured to be melted to supply a resulting melt to an upper surface portion of the extending portion of the anode lead wire, so that when said melt solidifies, the anode terminal is fixedly connected to the anode lead wire to form a bond and an electrical connection.
