Printed wiring board feed-through capacitor

摘要

A feed-through capacitor is constructed in a printed wiring board using alternating metal layers (304,306) and dielectric layers (302) of the printed wiring board. The large number of layers, the avoidance of ceramic layers and the flexible geometry of this device allow it to be used in many applications, particularly in those involving high power high current. Also, because it utilizes a printed wiring board, the capacitor can be made in numerous sizes and shapes.
