Patent ID: 7619876

Claim:
A solid electrolytic capacitor comprising: a porous anode body formed with a dielectric layer, by anodic oxidation, on a surface of a porous sintered body made of a valve-acting metal and embedded with part of an anode lead having a protruding portion protruding from said porous sintered body; a cathode layer including a solid electrolyte layer formed in contact with said dielectric layer of said porous anode body; a mounting anode terminal member; a mounting cathode terminal member; an insulating casing resin covering said protruding portion of said anode lead and said cathode layer except at least part of each of said mounting anode terminal member and said mounting cathode terminal member; and a small piece of a metal frame made of a valve-acting metal, said small piece formed integral with said protruding portion of said anode lead by cutting, after said anodic oxidation, said metal frame to which said protruding portion of said anode lead is fixed by resistance welding, wherein said small piece of said metal frame and said mounting anode terminal member are connected together by wire bonding so that said anode lead and said mounting anode terminal member are electrically connected together.
