Patent ID: 8149569

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 a lower surface of the anode terminal is exposed out of the mold resin portion, the cathode terminal has an upper step portion and a lower step portion that are disposed in a direction in which the cathode terminal and the anode terminal are aligned, an upper surface of the upper step portion is connected with a lower surface of the cathode member, a lower surface of the lower step portion is exposed out of the mold resin portion, at least a part of an upper surface of the lower step portion is opposed to a part of the lower surface of the cathode member via the mold resin portion, an upper surface of the anode terminal, the upper surface of the lower step portion of the cathode terminal, and a bottom surface of the mold resin portion between the cathode terminal and the anode terminal are disposed on an approximately same plane, and the anode terminal and the cathode terminal have respectively side surfaces exposed out of the mold resin portion and opposed to each other on the bottom surface of the mold resin portion.
