Patent ID: 8842419

Claim:
A solid electrolytic capacitor that comprises a capacitor element, the capacitor element comprising: a sintered, porous anode body having a height and a width; an anode lead tape having a thickness and further having a width that is at least about 20% of the width of the porous anode body, wherein the anode lead tape has a first portion positioned within the anode body and has a second portion extending from a surface of the anode body in a longitudinal direction, the second portion including a first surface and an opposing second surface, the second portion further having a notched region wherein a first notch is located on the first surface at the notched region, wherein the first notch is the only notch located on the first surface, wherein an anode termination is electrically connected to the anode lead tape, wherein the anode lead tape is welded to the anode termination at the first notch; a dielectric layer overlying the sintered porous anode body; and a cathode overlying the dielectric layer that includes a solid electrolyte.
