Patent ID: 7854772

Claim:
A solid electrolytic capacitor manufacturing method comprising the steps of: producing a capacitor element having an anode member, a dielectric member, and a cathode member; producing an anode terminal and a cathode terminal from a metal plate before or after the step of producing the capacitor element; placing the capacitor element on the anode terminal and the cathode terminal, connecting the anode member and a projection of the anode terminal, and connecting the cathode member and the cathode terminal; and coating the capacitor element on the anode terminal and the cathode terminal with a housing, wherein the projection of the anode terminal is formed at the step of producing the anode terminal and the cathode terminal by rolling the metal plate, and the anode terminal and the cathode terminal are each at least partly exposed from an undersurface of the housing at the step of coating the capacitor element with the housing.
