PURPOSE: To easily manufacture a highly reliable solid electrolytic capacitor having stable electrical characteristics by forming the exposed surfaces of anode bodies and terminals by cutting off part of a resin layer together with parts of the anode bodies and terminals and coating at least the exposed surfaces of the anode bodies and terminals with anode conductive layers.

CONSTITUTION: The electrical connection between anode bodies 1 and anode terminals 6 is secured by means of anode conductive layers 5 coating the exposed surfaces Y1 and Y6 of the bodies 1 and terminals 6 formed by cutting off parts of capacitor elements 9. Therefore, the stress which is generated when the terminals 6 are firmly joined during the course of the manufacturing process of the title capacitor does not affect the bodes 1. In addition, the manufacturing process can be simplified and no external stress affects the bodies 1. Moreover, the layers 5 coating the end faces of the elements 9 can be collectively formed by the screen printing method, etc., by arranging a plurality of capacitor elements 9 in a row.
