Patent ID: 7113391

Claim:
A solid electrolytic capacitor, comprising: a capacitor element, an anode terminal and a cathode terminal that are attached to the capacitor element and that have an exposed bottom face, and a housing that covers the capacitor element, wherein at least one of the anode terminal and the cathode terminal is provided with a first exposure portion that has an exposed bottom face that extends substantially perpendicularly to an arrangement direction of the two terminals, at least one first exposure portion has an end face exposed on a side face of the housing, the side face being substantially parallel to the arrangement direction of the two terminals and substantially perpendicular to said exposed bottom face, the end face of the first exposure portion is apart from the end face of the housing which is substantially perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the two terminals, wherein each first exposure portion is connected to a second exposure portion that extends along the arrangement direction of the two terminals, the second exposure portion has a narrower width than the first exposure portion along a direction substantially perpendicular to an arrangement direction of the two terminals, and at least one second exposure portion has an end face exposed on the end face of the housing.
