Patent ID: 8514549

Claim:
A pass through capacitor comprising: a plurality of power terminals disposed along a top surface of the pass through capacitor and in electrical communication with at least one first corresponding conductive member comprising a metal power plane, the metal power plane comprising a generally rectangular shape comprising a first side with a first length and a second side with a second length, the first length longer than the second length; a plurality of ground terminals disposed along the top surface of the pass through capacitor and in electrical communication with at least one corresponding second conductive member comprising a metal ground plane, the metal ground plane comprising a generally rectangular shape comprising a third side with a third length and a fourth side with a fourth length, the third length longer than the fourth length; the at least one first conductive member comprising the metal power plane and the at least one second conductive member comprising the metal ground plane physically separated with a dielectric material; at least one third terminal disposed along a bottom surface of the pass through capacitor, the bottom surface opposite the top surface, the at least third terminal in electrical communication with the at least one first conductive member comprising the metal power plane, the metal power plane configured such that the plurality of power terminals and the at least one third terminal are not vertically aligned through the pass through capacitor; and the at least one second conductive member comprising the metal ground plane being electrically connectable by way of the plurality of ground terminals, the at least one second conductive member comprising the metal ground plane being otherwise electrically isolated by the dielectric material; wherein, the first length of the metal power plane and the third length of the metal ground plane are parallel to the top surface of the pass through capacitor and the bottom surface of the pass through capacitor and the second length of the metal power plane and the fourth length of the metal ground plane are substantially the same length as a distance between the top surface and the bottom surface of the pass through capacitor; wherein the plurality of power and ground terminals are in an alternating configuration.
