Patent ID: 7525790

Claim:
A solid electrolytic capacitor with face-down terminals comprising a capacitor element having a dielectric, an electrolyte, and a cathode layer formed in order on a surface of a porous sintered body made of a valve-action metal and having an anode lead drawn out therefrom so as to be offset in a direction substantially perpendicular to an anode lead draw-out direction, an anode terminal having one end connected to said anode lead and the other end serving as an anode exposed portion exposed at a mount surface, a cathode terminal connected to said cathode layer of said capacitor element and having an end serving as a cathode exposed portion exposed at the mount surface, and an insulating casing resin covering said capacitor element, said anode terminal, and said cathode terminal, wherein the mount surface includes an outer bottom portion, a first and a second side parallel to each other, and four terminal exposed portions which are provided such that a pair of the two terminal exposed portions are located at said first side and a pair of the other two terminal exposed portions are located at said second side, and wherein said two terminal exposed portions located at said first side serve as said anode exposed portion of said anode terminal and said cathode exposed portion of said cathode terminal, respectively, and said two terminal exposed portions located at said second side serve as dummy terminals that are not electrically connected to said capacitor element.
