LOW INDUCTANCE CAPACITOR

摘要

A low inductance multi-layer capacitor (10). The capacitor comprises interleaved parallel internal electrode plates (12 and 12') with dielectric there between. Each internal electrode plate (12 and 12') comprises two lead-out tabs (28 and 30; and 28' and 30', respectively) and is generally T shaped. A first external electrode terminal (18) is electrically connected to the lead-out tabs (28 and 30) of the odd internal electrode plates (12), and a second external electrode terminal (20) is electrically connected to the lead-out tabs (28' and 30') of the even internal electrode plates (12'). The external electrode terminals (18 and 20) are on a common first exterior surface (46) and a common opposing second exterior surface (48) of the capacitor (10).
