Patent ID: 7149071

Claim:
A capacitor comprising: a stack of layers including: a first electrode, the first electrode having six tabs, tabs 1 T, 2 T, 3 T, 4 T, 5 T, and 6 T; a second electrode, the second electrode having six tabs, tabs 7 T, 8 T, 9 T, 10 T, 11 T, and 12 T; a first conductive layer; and a second conductive layer, wherein each layer is separated by dielectric material; a first, a second, a third, and a fourth terminal connected to the first electrode at tabs 1 T, 2 T, 3 T, and 4 T; a fifth, a sixth, a seventh, and an eighth terminal connected to the second electrode at tabs 7 T, 8 T, 9 T, and 10 T; a first conductive element connecting the first electrode and the first conductive layer; and a second conductive element connecting the second electrode and the second conductive layer, wherein the first and second conductive layers are separated from the terminals by dielectric material, and wherein the tabs are arranged around the perimeter of the stack in the order of 1 T, 7 T, 2 T, 8 T, 6 T, 12 T, 3 T, 9 T, 4 T, 10 T, 5 T, 11 T.
