  • Patent number: 9640326
    Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor includes a capacitor element, a negative terminal, a positive terminal, and a resin package covering the capacitor element. The negative terminal and the positive terminal are joined respectively to a negative electrode section and a positive electrode section of the capacitor element. The negative terminal has a mount portion, a protruding portion, and a collecting portion. The mount portion has the negative electrode section disposed thereon, and is joined to an underside of the negative electrode via a conductive bonding portion. The protruding portion protrudes from a side edge of the mount portion in a same plane as the mount portion, and has a width narrowed stepwise in a protruding direction. The collecting portion is provided adjacent to a side edge of a part where the protruding portion is narrowed stepwise, and accommodates a part of the conductive bonding portion.
