A solid electrolytic capacitor (A1) includes a porous sintered body (1) of
valve metal, internal anode terminals (11a, 11b) projecting from the
porous sintered body, and external anode terminals (21a, 21b) positioned
lower than the internal anode terminals and having a bottom surface
utilized for surface-mounting. The internal anode terminals (11a, 11b)
are provided at a position lower than the center of the porous sintered
body (1) in the height direction of the porous sintered body.
