Patent ID: 7623337

Claim:
A feedthrough multilayer capacitor comprising: a capacitor body; at least two signal terminal electrodes arranged on an outer surface of the capacitor body; and at least one grounding terminal electrode arranged on the outer surface of the capacitor body; wherein the capacitor body has a plurality of insulator layers laminated, a signal inner electrode, a first grounding inner electrode, and a second grounding inner electrode; wherein the signal inner electrode and the first grounding inner electrode are arranged so as to oppose each other with at least one of the plurality of insulator layers in between; wherein the second grounding inner electrode is arranged so as to oppose the signal inner electrode or the first grounding inner electrode with at least one of the plurality of insulator layers in between; wherein the signal inner electrode is connected to the at least two signal terminal electrodes; wherein the second grounding inner electrode is one of directly and mechanically connected to the at least one grounding terminal electrode; and wherein the first grounding inner electrode is not one of connected directly and mechanically to the at least one grounding terminal electrode and is connected electrically to only the second grounding inner electrode through a through-hole conductor.
