Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 13:
14. A capacitor assembly, comprising:
a first subassembly comprising:
at least one first film capacitor comprising a first electrically conductive layer, which is arranged on a first end side face of the film capacitor, wherein the surface normal of the first electrically conductive layer is perpendicular to the surface normals of films of the first film capacitor, and a second electrically conductive layer, which is arranged on a second end side face of the first film capacitor, opposite the first end side face, in parallel with the first electrically conductive layer,
a first connection element which contacts the first electrically conductive layer of the at least one first film capacitor of the first subassembly;

a second subassembly which is arranged over the first subassembly and comprises:
at least one second film capacitor comprising a third electrically conductive layer, which is arranged on a third end side face of the second film capacitor, wherein the surface normal of the third electrically conductive layer is perpendicular to the surface normals of films of the second film capacitor, and a fourth electrically conductive layer, which is arranged on a fourth end side face of the second film capacitor, opposite the third end side face of the second film capacitor, in parallel with the third electrically conductive layer,
a second connection element which contacts the fourth electrically conductive layer of the at least one second film capacitor of the second subassembly;

wherein the first connection element contacts the third electrically conductive layer of the at least one second film capacitor of the second subassembly by means of at least one first connecting line,
wherein the second connection element contacts the second electrically conductive layer of the at least one first film capacitor of the first subassembly by means of at least one second connecting line,
wherein the at least one first film capacitor comprises at least one first inner passage which extends from the first electrically conductive layer to the second electrically conductive layer,
wherein the at least one second film capacitor comprises at least one second inner passage which extends from the third electrically conductive layer to the fourth electrically conductive layer; and
wherein the at least one first connecting line extends through the at least one second inner passage, and
wherein the at least one second connecting line extends through the at least one first inner passage.
