Patent ID: 7446996

Claim:
A feedthrough capacitor array comprising: a dielectric element body of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape; a first signal internal electrode and a first ground internal electrode arranged to be opposed to each other through a part of the dielectric element body; a second signal internal electrode and a second ground internal electrode arranged to be opposed to each other through a part of the dielectric element body, in an opposed direction in which the first signal internal electrode and the first ground internal electrode are opposed; at least two first signal terminal electrodes arranged on a surface of the dielectric element body and electrically and physically connected each to the first signal internal electrode; at least two second signal terminal electrodes arranged on the surface of the dielectric element body and electrically and physically connected each to the second signal internal electrode; a first ground terminal electrode arranged on the surface of the dielectric element body and electrically and physically connected to the first ground internal electrode; and a second ground terminal electrode arranged on the surface of the dielectric element body and electrically and physically connected to the second ground internal electrode; wherein the first signal internal electrode and the second ground internal electrode are arranged so as not to overlap each other in the opposed direction; and wherein the second signal internal electrode and the first ground internal electrode are arranged so as not to overlap each other in the opposed direction.
