Claims
- 1. A solid electrolyte capacitor comprising:a capacitor body having an anode body of valve metal, a dielectric oxide film formed on the anode body and a cathode layer of solid conductive substance formed on the oxide film, and two lead frames supporting the capacitor body for electrically connecting the anode body and the cathode layer of the capacitor body to circuits outside the capacitor body, the solid electrolyte capacitor being characterized in that a surface of at least one of the lead frames is at least partly formed with a high conductive layer of a material having a higher electric conductivity than a substrate of the lead frame, the high conductive layer extending from a connection to the capacitor body to a connection for the circuit.
- 2. A solid electrolyte capacitor according to claim 1 wherein the high conductive layer is made of copper.
- 3. A solid electrolyte capacitor according to claims 2 wherein a nickel layer is formed on a surface of the high conductive layer, and a palladium layer is formed on a surface of the nickel layer.
- 4. A solid electrolyte capacitor according to claim 3 wherein a layer of gold is formed on a surface of the palladium layer.
