A solid electrolytic capacitor of the present invention has a structure where
respective
anode sections of capacitor elements are joined to an anode lead frame by resistance
welding via a through hole formed in the anode lead frame. Current thus collects
to the through hole during the welding to break a dielectric oxide film layer to
expose aluminum foil, and the molten aluminum collects into the through hole. Stable
welding work is therefore allowed without splashing the aluminum, and a solid electrolytic
capacitor having high welding strength, high reliability, and reduced ESR can be obtained.
