A capacitor (10) is made from a laminated structure having multiple layers of metallized, dielectric film (14) and having a solderable, metal termination (30) at each of two ends. The metal termination (30) at each of the ends is generally rectangular with a top edge (34), a bottom edge (36), and two side edges (38) and is finished so as to have a finished surface (42), which is characterized by a three-dimensional pattern of ridges (44) having solderable surfaces and grooves (46) having solderable surfaces. The ridges (44) alternate with the grooves (46) and the ridges (44) and the grooves (46) at both of the ends are parallel to the side edges (38). The three-dimensional pattern (42) facilitates reflow soldering of the capacitor (10). <IMAGE> |
