Patent ID: 7706133

Claim:
A solid electrolytic capacitor comprising: a capacitor element; an anode-side lead terminal connected to an anode of the capacitor element; a cathode-side lead terminal connected to a cathode of the capacitor element; and an armor covering the capacitor element and having an electrical insulating property; wherein the armor has two principal faces opposed to each other, and two side faces connecting the two principal faces and opposed to each other; wherein the anode-side lead terminal has at least a first terminal portion exposed in one of the principal faces; wherein the cathode-side lead terminal has at least a first terminal portion exposed in the one of the principal faces, and a second terminal portion exposed in the one of the principal faces and extending from the first terminal portion so as to be exposed in either of the two side faces; and wherein the following relation is satisfied: W/G≧ 1.0, where W is a width of the second terminal portion of the cathode-side lead terminal and G is a gap between the anode-side lead terminal and the cathode-side terminal on the one of the principal faces.
