System and method for assembling a voltage amplifier

摘要

A voltage amplifier (10) is provided that includes a first row (50) and a second row (52) each having a respective first or second plurality of capacitors (12) arranged collinearly. First row (50) capacitors (12) comprise first terminals and second row (52) capacitors (12) comprise second terminals. The first row (50) and second row (52) are parallel to each other along longitudinal and lateral axes. A third row has a first plurality of diodes (14) and a fourth row has a second plurality of diodes (14), each row positioned cross¬ wise to the first row (50) and located above the first (50) and second rows (52) along the vertical axis. The first diodes (14) are positioned parallel to each other along the longitudinal and lateral axes, and the second diodes (14) are parallel to each other along the longitudinal and lateral axes and positioned cross-wise to and above the first plurality along the vertical axis. Diodes (14) and capacitors (12) are directly and physically connected using respective electrical leads (36).
