Abstract:
A multi-capacitor module comprising:a module body having opposing top and bottom module surfaces, the module body including electrical terminals for connecting to an external circuit; anda plurality of capacitors within the module, each capacitor being electrically coupled to ones of the terminals on the module body, each capacitor including a capacitor body having opposing first and second capacitor ends defining a capacitor height therebetween, the second capacitor end being adjacent to the top module surface and the first capacitor end being adjacent to the bottom module surface, one of the first and second capacitor ends defining a length and a width of the capacitor, wherein the capacitor height is longer than each of the length and the width of the capacitor;wherein a plurality of contacts at the second capacitor ends are electrically connected to one or more conductors extending to one or more terminals at the bottom module surface and a plurality of contacts at the first capacitor ends are substantially coplanar to the one or more terminals.
