1. A solid electrolytic capacitor comprising:
a capacitor element comprising a sintered anode body, a dielectric that overlies the anode body, and a solid electrolyte that overlies the dielectric, wherein the solid electrolyte includes a conductive polymer, wherein the capacitor element defines opposing first and second ends and opposing upper and lower surfaces;
a first exposed anode lead portion extending from the first end of the capacitor element;
a first anode termination that is electrically connected to the first exposed anode lead portion;
a second exposed anode lead portion extending from the second end of the capacitor element;
a second anode termination that is spaced apart from the first anode termination and electrically connected to the second exposed anode lead portion; and
a planar cathode termination that is positioned adjacent to the lower surface of the capacitor element and electrically connected to the solid electrolyte;
wherein a continuous anode lead extends through the first end and the second end of the capacitor element, thereby defining the first exposed anode lead portion and the second exposed anode lead portion, wherein a distance between the first exposed anode lead portion and the second exposed anode lead portion to the lower surface of the of the capacitor element ranges from about 0.1 millimeter to about 1 millimeter.
