Abstract

Abstract A chip-type solid electrolytic capacitor having an anode body (1) of valve-metal with an anode lead extending from one surface thereof and a dielectric layer (3) formed thereon, a cathode layer (5) formed on the electrolytic layer, an insulating layer (6) formed on the cathode layer so as to cover the one surface of the anode body, a plated layer (7a) formed on the insulating layer over the one surface, a solder layer (8a) formed on the plated layer, and an alloy layer (9) formed on an end portion of the anode lead, the alloy layer consisting of three metals of the anode lead, the plated layer, and the solder layer.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 116 words
A chip-type solid electrolytic capacitor comprising: an anode body of valve-metal, an anode lead extended from one surface of said anode body, a dielectric layer formed on said anode body, a solid electrolytic layer formed on said dielectric layer, a cathode layer formed on said solid electrolytic layer, an insulating layer formed on said cathode layer so as to cover said one surface of said anode body, a plated layer formed on said insulating layer over said one surface, a solder layer formed on said plated layer, an alloy layer formed at end portion of said anode lead, said alloy layer consisting of three metals of said anode lead, said plated layer and said solder layer.
