Patent ID: 7869190

Claim:
A solid electrolytic capacitor, comprising: a capacitor element formed by forming a dielectric coating film on a surface of an anode body having an anode terminal protruding therefrom and forming a cathode layer on the dielectric coating film; a resin sheath that covers the capacitor element; an anode lead frame having an anode-side terminal surface that is connected to a tip section of the anode terminal of said capacitor element and exposed from said resin sheath; and a cathode lead frame having a cathode-side terminal surface that is connected to said cathode layer and exposed from said resin sheath, wherein said anode lead frame includes, in a portion thereof embedded in said resin sheath, a spaced frame section that extends along the anode terminal at a distance from the anode terminal, and a bonding frame section that is bonded to the anode terminal, the bonding frame section protrudes from a part of the spaced frame section to the anode terminal, the part of the spaced frame section being different from the opposite ends thereof in a direction in which the anode terminal extends, and the bonding frame section has a first recess that opens in a surface of the spaced frame section opposite to a surface thereof that faces the anode terminal, wherein the entire length of said anode lead frame is embedded in said resin sheath, and a back surface of said spaced frame section is exposed on a back surface of the resin sheath to form said anode-side terminal surface.
