Abstract
A multi-layer capacitor device includes a substantially rectangular capacitor body including first electrode plates and second electrode plates. and a dielectric material is located between each opposed set of the first and second electrode plates. The first and second electrode plates each includes a main electrode portion and a plurality of spaced apart lead structures extending therefrom, respective lead structures of the first electrodes plates being located adjacent respective lead structures of the second electrode plates in an interdigitated arrangement. A plurality of electrical terminals are located on the side surfaces of the substantially rectangular capacitor body. Each of the first polarity terminals is adjacent to one of the second polarity terminals and each of the second polarity terminals is adjacent to one of the first polarity terminals. Each of the first polarity terminals located on the pair of opposed longer side surfaces is disposed opposite to another of the first polarity terminals and each of the second polarity of terminals located on the pair of longer side surfaces is disposed opposite to another of the second polarity terminals; each of the lead structures of the first and second electrode plates have a length L and a width W and a ratio L/W is equal to about 3 or less.
