Patent ID: 7027286

Claim:
A metallized-film capacitor comprising: a dielectric film having a first film face and a second film face; a first deposited electrode covering the first film face; a second deposited electrode covering the second film face; and a first metallized contact and a second metallized contact disposed on both end-faces of the dielectric film, wherein the first deposited electrode includes: a first non-divisional electrode; a first divisional electrode separated by a first slit from the first non-divisional electrode, the first divisional electrode having substantially an identical thickness as the first non-divisional electrode; a first fuse for coupling the first divisional electrode to the first non-divisional electrode; wherein the second deposited electrode includes: a second non-divisional electrode; a second divisional electrode separated by a second slit from the second non-divisional electrode, the second divisional electrode having substantially an identical thickness as the second non-divisional electrode; a second fuse for coupling the second divisional electrode to the second non-divisional electrode; wherein the first non-divisional electrode overlaps the second divisional electrode, and the second non-divisional electrode overlaps the first divisional electrode.
