Surface-mounting capacitor

摘要

A surface-mounting thin type capacitor includes a capacitor element having a shape of <img id="CUSTOM-CHARACTER-00001" he="2.79mm" wi="2.46mm" file="US07443654-20081028-P00001.TIF" alt="custom character" img-content="character" img-format="tif"/> and two end portions which form a side surface of the capacitor element. Two anode terminals are disposed on lower surfaces of the end portions along the side surface to form a mounting surface substantially perpendicular to the side surface. A cathode terminal is disposed at a middle part of the capacitor element to form the mounting surface together with the anode terminals. The cathode terminal is not between the anode terminals spatially and thereby manufacturing process of the capacitor is simplified and it is easy to change the intended use of the capacitor.
