Patent ID: 8456804

Claim:
A solid electrolytic capacitor comprising a capacitor element having an anode member and a cathode member, an anode terminal electrically connected with the anode member, a cathode terminal electrically connected with the cathode member, and a mold resin portion covering the capacitor element, wherein the cathode terminal has: an upper step portion connecting with a lower surface of the cathode member in the mold resin portion; a lower step portion connecting with the upper step portion via a step part and extending in a direction away from the anode terminal, wherein a lower surface thereof is exposed out of the mold resin portion; and a side portion connecting with the upper step portion and extending along with a side surface of the cathode member, wherein the side portion has an extended portion extending in a direction away from the anode member and is formed longer than the upper step portion in a direction in which the cathode terminal and the anode terminal are aligned, wherein the extended portion extends beyond the step part in a direction from the cathode member side toward the anode member side.
