Patent ID: 6950300

Claim:
A capacitor that is adapted to be mounted one a substrate, comprising: m electrode plates; wherein each of said m electrode plates are arranged spaced apart in parallel; wherein m is an integer greater than 1; wherein each of said m electrode plates comprises a first extension; n first external terminals; wherein n is an integer greater than 1; wherein said n first external terminals are arranged on a first common exterior surface of the capacitor; wherein said first extension of even ones of said m electrode plates are coupled to even ones of said n first external terminals; wherein said first extension of odd ones of said m electrode plates are coupled to odd ones of said n first external terminals; wherein said n first external terminals are arranged at a predefined minimal distance from each other to minimize parasitic inductance, wherein when said n first external terminals are connected to the substrate, said m electrode plates of said capacitor are oriented perpendicular to the substrate and wherein a height of said capacitor above the substrate is greater than a width of said capacitor.
