joining an anode lead of a capacitor element to an upper surface of the anode terminal member of the plated fabrication frame and joining a bottom surface of the capacitor element to an upper surface of the cathode terminal member,
forming a packaging resin portion around the capacitor element except at the through-hole or the cavity, and cutting the fabrication frame along a first vertical plane through the through-hole or the cavity and along a second vertical plane through the cathode terminal member to obtain a solid electrolytic capacitor as separated from the side frame members,
