Patent ID: 6891717

Claim:
A solid electrolytic capacitor comprising a blocked shaped capacitor element having an anode lead projecting from the capacitor element, an anode terminal approximately rectangular parallelepipedal and joined to the anode lead, a cathode terminal joined to the capacitor element and a packaging resin portion covering the capacitor element, the anode terminal being provided along the anode lead and exposed from the packaging resin portion at a bottom surface of the resin portion and a first side surface thereof continuous with the bottom surface, the cathode terminal being provided along a surface of the capacitor element and exposed from the packaging resin portion at the bottom surface and a second side surface perpendicular to the bottom surface and opposite to the first side surface, a side portion of the anode terminal exposed from the first side surface and a side portion of the cathode terminal exposed from the second side surface being each covered with a plating layer over a surface thereof and each provided with a recess opened at least downward.
