Patent ID: 8582278

Claim:
A capacitor comprising: a solid electrolytic capacitor element that defines an upper surface, lower surface, front surface, and rear surface, wherein the capacitor element includes an anode, dielectric layer overlying the anode, cathode overlying the dielectric layer that includes a solid electrolyte, and an anode lead electrically connected to the anode that extends from the front surface in a longitudinal direction; an anode termination that is electrically connected to the anode lead; and a cathode termination that is electrically connected to the cathode and contains an upstanding portion positioned generally perpendicular to the lower surface of the capacitor element and adjacent to the rear surface of the capacitor element and first and second planar portions positioned generally parallel to the lower surface of the capacitor element, wherein the first and second planar portions are interconnected by a folded region such that the first planar portion is disposed vertically above the second planar portion, and wherein the second planar portion has a lower surface, and further wherein the first planar portion is adhered to the capacitor element with a conductive adhesive and the second planar portion is not adhered to the capacitor element with a conductive adhesive; and a molding material that encapsulates the capacitor element and leaves exposed at least a part of the anode termination and at least a part of the lower surface of the second planar portion of the cathode termination, wherein the first planar portion and the upstanding portion of the cathode termination are completely encapsulated by the molding material, and further wherein the molding material extends to the lower surface of the second planar portion.
