Abstract:
A capacitor, comprising:capacitor body having a first and second opposed, parallel, planar surfaces;m pair of first and second generally planar internal electrodes located in said capacitor body and extending generally parallel to said first and second planar surfaces, each said pair of internal electrodes being separated by a respective dielectric layer to define a respective capacitive unit, m being a positive integer greater than or equal to one;n first external electrodes located on said first planar surface of said capacitor body, n being an integer greater than or equal to 1;p second external electrodes located on said first planar surface of said capacitor body, p being an integer greater than or equal to 1;n first connection portions operable to electrically connect said first internal electrodes to each other and to a respective one of said first external electrodes, each of said first connection portions being electrically insulated from said second internal electrodes; andp second connection portions operable to electrically connect said second internal electrodes to each other and to a respective one of said second external electrodes, each of said second connection portions being electrically insulated from said first internal electrodes.
