Abstract
A monolithic multilayer capacitor of known capacitance has a body with six external walls and a plurality of spaced electrodes embedded in the body and spaced from a first one of the walls. Two spaced end walls have electrical terminations to which alternate electrodes are respectively connected. The electrode adjacent the first wall is spaced a first distance and the remaining electrodes are spaced apart a second distance. One or more slits in the first wall sever the first electrode adjacent to the wall leaving all the other electrodes intact and reducing the capacitor by predetermined amounts depending on the location of the slits.
