Abstract
A sintered fuse is structured by forming a sintered body of metal powders into a wire form or a plate form. As for the metal powders, powders of the grain diameter of approximately a few &mgr;m, such as Cu or Al, can be used and different types of metal powders can be mixed. In addition, by interposing this sintered fuse ( ) between, for example, the negative electrode ( ) and the second external lead ( ), a solid electrolytic capacitor is formed. As a result, a fuse which melts at the same level of temperature as in a prior art can be obtained without utilizing toxic Pb and a solid electrolytic capacitor, which has this fuse built into it and which is safe and highly reliable, can be obtained.
