Patent ID: 7710710

Claim:
An electrical component comprising: ceramic layers that are stacked to form a base body; electrode layers disposed among the ceramic layers to form at least two capacitors having a common electrode layer, each capacitor having an other associated electrode layer; at least one phase gate on a ceramic layer that corresponds to a surface of the base body; contact surfaces on a top surface of the base body; at least two through contacts that electrically connect the respective other associated electrode layers to the contact surfaces, the at least two through contacts being inside the base body at least in part; at least one common through contact that electrically connects the common electrode layer of the at least two capacitors, the common through contact being arranged in an area between the at least two through contacts, wherein the phase gate is electrically connected to the at least two through contacts, and wherein side surfaces of the base body are substantially free of surface metallic contacts and of metal plating.
