Abstract:
A capacitor comprising:a. an electrically insulating ceramic disk having a top and bottom surface and a center axis; b. a first disk shaped electrode mounted to said top surface; c. a second disk shaped electrode mounted to said bottom surface; d. a first lead connected to said first electrode and a second lead connected to said second electrode, said first lead and said second lead each being formed of wide flat strips of an electrically conducting foil whereby said leads provide low inductance and allow the capacitor to effectively perform at high frequencies up to 1 gigahertz, wherein said first lead and said second lead extend axially outward from said first electrode and second electrode, respectively, and wherein said first lead and said second lead are situate, respectively, in planes which are transverse to one another; and e. a powder coated outer layer covering said ceramic disk, first electrode and second electrode and a connecting end of said first lead and said second lead.
