  • Patent number: 6862169
    Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor having a plurality of solid electrolytic capacitor elements each having an anode part assigned to one end part of an anode substrate composed of a valve-acting metal having on the surface thereof a dielectric film layer, and a cathode part consisting of a solid electrolyte layer formed on the dielectric film layer in the remaining portion of the anode substrate and an electrically conducting layer formed on the solid electrolyte layer. The anode parts are stacked on one another and the cathode parts are stacked on one another, and the stacked anode parts and stacked cathode parts are connected to a lead frame and are molded with an outer jacket resin. Each solid electrolytic capacitor element has a notched part at least at one part of the cathode part and an electrically conductive material fills the notched part.

  • Patent number: 6813141
    Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor having a solid electrolytic capacitor element having an anode part assigned to one end part of an anode substrate composed of a valve-acting metal having on the surface thereof a dielectric film layer, and a cathode part including of a solid electrolyte layer formed on the dielectric film layer in the remaining portion of the anode substrate and having an electrically conducting layer formed thereon. The anode part is connected to a lead frame via a weld metal provided on the anode part of the solid electrolytic capacitor element by irradiating the anode part with a laser ray. Also disclosed is a method of producing the solid electrolytic capacitor.
