Abstract:
A bypass circuit comprising:a first dielectric layer, with said first dielectric layer having a length dimension and a width dimension, and with said first dielectric layer having a first surface and a second surface; an electrode layer, with said electrode layer having a length dimension and a width dimension, with said length and width dimensions of said electrode layer smaller than said length and width dimensions respectively of said first dielectric layer, and with said electrode layer mounted on said first surface of said first dielectric layer, spaced from contact with any electrical conductor; a second dielectric layer, with said second dielectric layer having a length dimension and a width dimension and with said length and width dimensions of said second dielectric layer coextensive with said length and width dimensions respectively of said first dielectric layer, and with said second dielectric layer having a first surface and a second surface, said first surface of said second dielectric layer in contact with said first surface of said first dielectric surface; a resistive layer, with said resistive layer having a length dimension and a width dimension, with said length dimension of said resistive layer smaller than said length dimension of said second dielectric layer, and with said resistive layer mounted on said second surface of said second dielectric layer; and two spaced apart contact members with said contact members in contact with said second surface of said first dielectric layer, each of said contact members provided with a different polarity from that of said other contact member, with each of said contact members extending onto an end surface of said first and said second dielectric layers, and with each of said contact members contacting an opposite edge of said resistive layer.
