  • Patent number: 7843681
    Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor element includes an anode foil, a solid electrolytic layer, a cathode foil, and a connection portion. The anode foil is composed of valve metal and has at least one through hole passing therethrough in thickness direction thereof. The solid electrolytic layer is made of conductive polymer and is provided on a surface of the anode foil. The cathode foil is provided on a surface of the solid electrolytic layer. The connection portion is provided in the through hole and electrically connects a first solid electrolytic layer and a second solid electrolytic layer, the first solid electrolytic layer being a region of the solid electrolytic layer on one face of the anode foil, the second solid electrolytic layer being another region of the solid electrolytic layer on the other face of the anode foil.

  • Patent number: 7688571
    Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor includes a base substrate, a capacitor element, a metal cap, an extractor terminal and an insulating member. The base substrate has electrical conductivity. The capacitor element is provided on the base substrate. The metal cap is coupled to the base substrate and covers the capacitor element. The extractor terminal passes through the base substrate, is coupled to an anode of the capacitor element, and includes a first conductive member acting as a core member and a second conductive member covering the first conductive member. The insulating member is provided between the base substrate and the extractor terminal. Electrical conductivity of the first conductive member is higher than that of the second conductive member. Thermal expansion coefficient of the second conductive member is less than that of the insulating member.
