A solid electrolyte capacitor in a block of electrically insulative resin is provided with two electrodes connected by respective connecting tangs to output leads (+, -) and to a fuze test lead; one connecting tang (6) is formed by a first section (6B) fixed to one of the electrodes and projecting out of the resin block to form the fuze test lead, and a second section (6A) projecting out of the resin block to form a conventional terminal; an elongate strip (10) forms the fuze in one piece with the sections (6A,6B) so as to provide the only electrical connection between the sections; the fuze is coated with a supporting mass of thermally insulative resin extending between the two sections and embedded in the resin block.
