Patent ID: 7352562

Claim:
A surface-mount solid electrolytic capacitor comprising: a capacitor element; an anode lead terminal made of a metal plate and electrically connected to an anode of the capacitor element; a cathode lead terminal made of a metal plate and electrically connected to a cathode of the capacitor element; and a package made of synthetic resin and hermetically sealing the capacitor element; the anode lead terminal and the cathode lead terminal being embedded in a bottom of the package with lower surfaces of the anode lead terminal and the cathode lead terminal exposed at a bottom surface of the package, wherein each of the anode lead terminal and the cathode lead terminal is formed with a first standing piece at a portion corresponding to a side surface of the package, the first standing piece having an outer surface exposed at the side surface of the package, the first standing piece of the anode lead terminal being spaced from the anode, and wherein the anode lead terminal is formed with a second standing piece in contact with the anode within the resin package.
