MEANS AND METHOD FOR FABRICATING PLANAR TERMINATED CAPACITORS

摘要

A planar terminated capacitor (10) and a method for fabricating planar terminated capacitors is disclosed wherein a capacitor element (12) is inserted in a nonconductive tubular sleeve (14). The sleeve extends outwardly beyond the ends of the capacitor element forming cavities at each end of the sleeve. These cavities are filled with a conductive substance and metal end caps (18) are positioned at the ends of the sleeve substantially enclosing the cavities. The conductive substance electrically couples the end caps to the ends of the capacitor element (12).
