Abstract

A method of manufacturing a solid electrolytic capacitor includes steps (a) to (d). The step (a) forms at least two punched apertures in a metal plate, thereby forming a rung section between adjacent two of the punched apertures, the rung section having surfaces as a pair appearing as a result of formation of the punched apertures. The step (b) cuts the rung section out of the metal plate to form a pad member, the length of the rung section corresponding to a distance between the surfaces being determined to be the height of the pad member. The step (c) mounts the pad member on an anode terminal such that one of the surfaces faces the anode terminal. The step (d) electrically connects an anode section of a capacitor element to the other of the surfaces and electrically connects a cathode section of the capacitor element to the cathode terminal.
