Paired multi-layered dielectric independent passive component architecture resulting in differential and common mode filtering with surge protection in one integrated package

摘要

The present invention relates to a passive electronic component architecture (10) employed in conjunction with various dielectric (16) and combinations of dielectric materials to provide one or more differential and common mode filters (12) for the suppression of electromagnetic emissions and surge protection. The architecture allows single or multiple components (22) to be assembled within a single package (10) such as an integrated circuit or connector. The component's architecture is dielectric independent and provides for integration of various electrical characteristics within a single component to perform the functions of filtering, decoupling, fusing and surge suppression, alone or in combination.
