Patent ID: 8904609

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a safe capacitor comprising: forming a first external termination and a second external termination; forming at least one capacitive unit comprising a first conductor and a second conductor; electrically connecting said first external termination to said first conductor and electrically connecting said second conductor to said second external termination; forming at least one safe circuit comprising a first contact pad and a second contact pad with a resistive electronic component electrically connected between said first contact pad and said second contact pad; electrically connecting said first contact pad to said first external termination and said second contact pad to said second external termination; forming an internal termination on said safe circuit; electrically connecting said second external termination and said internal termination; and wherein said forming said safe circuit is on a substrate by a method selected from thin film technology, thick film technology and LTCC thereby producing a circuitry comprising at least one component selected from a fuse and a resistor.
