A solid electrolytic capacitor includes a capacitor element, a conductive member, an electrical insulating member, and a tubular member. The element has an element body with a cathode layer, and an anode lead. The conductive member is placed to face a first end surface of the body through which the lead is pulled out. The electrical insulating member is placed between the conductive member and the body. The lead passes through a through hole defined in the electrical insulating member. A tip end portion of the lead is inserted into a through hole or a closed end hole defined in the conductive member to be electrically connected to the conductive member. Insertion of the body into the tubular member causes the tubular member to cover at least part of a side surface of the body, while making electrical connection between the tubular member and the cathode layer.
