  • Patent number: 9039787
    Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor includes a capacitor element, an anode terminal, and a cathode terminal. The anode terminal is electrically connected to the anode lead of the capacitor element through a pillow portion formed on a surface of the anode terminal. The cathode terminal is electrically connected to the cathode layer of the capacitor element. A method of manufacturing the solid electrolytic capacitor includes steps (a) and (b). In the step (a), a first printed portion to become the pillow portion is formed by performing printing on a predetermined place of the surface of the anode terminal with paste containing a conductive material and resin. In the step (b), the anode lead is connected to a tip end part of the first printed portion.

  • Patent number: 6882520
    Abstract: The invention provides a solid electrolytic capacitor which comprises a capacitor element including an anode body having an anode leading member, and a dielectric coating layer, a solid electrolyte layer and a cathode leading layer which are formed successively over a surface of the anode body. The anode leading member has an anode terminal member connected thereto, the cathode leading layer has a cathode terminal member connected thereto, and the capacitor element is covered with a packaging resin portion. The cathode terminal member is connected to the cathode leading layer with current control means provided therebetween. The current control means comprises a current control layer reversibly increasable in electrical resistance with overcurrent or excessive heat, and a pair of electrode members each in the form of a plate or foil and having the current control layer sandwiched therebetween. The electrode members are joined to the cathode leading layer and the cathode terminal member, respectively.
