Abstract:
A solid electrolytic capacitor including a capacitor element and an anode lead assembly is provided. The capacitor element includes a sintered, porous anode body; a dielectric layer overlying the sintered, porous anode body; and a cathode overlying the dielectric layer that includes a solid electrolyte. The anode lead assembly includes an anode lead tape having an embedded portion positioned within the anode body and an external portion extending from a surface of the anode body in a longitudinal direction, where the width of the anode lead tape is greater than the height of the anode lead tape. Meanwhile, a carrier lead wire is positioned external to the anode body and includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a substantially planar surface that is connected to the substantially planar surface of the external portion of the anode lead tape.
