Patent ID: 7095605

Claim:
A solid electrolytic capacitor comprising: a capacitor element; and an outer shell that is made of an insulating resin by molding such that the outer shell covers the capacitor element, wherein the capacitor element comprises a winding portion that is formed by rolling together an anode foil with a dielectric oxidized film formed on its surface, a cathode foil, and a separator that is sandwiched between the anode foil and the cathode foil; wherein a conductive polymer layer is formed between the anode foil and the cathode foil; and wherein an anode lead wire electrically connected to the anode foil, and a cathode lead wire electrically connected to a cathode foil extend from the winding portion, penetrate the outer shell, and are respectively connected to an anode terminal and a cathode terminal that are placed in indentations that are formed on a surface of the outer shell.
