Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. A capacitor assembly, comprising:
a plurality of film capacitors, wherein each respective film capacitor of the plurality of film capacitors comprises:
a respective first electrically conductive layer, which is arranged on a respective first end side face of the respective film capacitor, the surface normal of the respective first electrically conductive layer being perpendicular to the surface normals of respective dielectric films of the respective film capacitor;
a respective second electrically conductive layer, which is arranged on a respective second end side face opposite from the respective first end side face, wherein the surface normal of the respective second electrically conductive layer is perpendicular to the surface normals of the respective dielectric films of the respective film capacitor;
at least one respective inner passage, which extends from the respective first electrically conductive layer to the respective second electrically conductive layer, wherein the respective passage is formed by removal of respective capacitor material; and
a respective electrically conductive connection guided from the respective first electrically conductive layer on the respective first end side face of the respective film capacitor, through the respective passage, to the respective second end side face of the respective film capacitor;

wherein the plurality of film capacitors are contacted with one another in series or in parallel by means of a plurality of respective connection elements, wherein the plurality of connection elements are arranged so as to be electrically isolated from one another on the second end side faces of the plurality of film capacitors, wherein the plurality of connection elements are electrically connected to respective ones of the first electrically conductive layers on the first end side faces of the plurality of film capacitors.
