Abstract
A high voltage capacitor has a monolithic body made of layers of dielectric material and further has first and second external contacts located on the body. First and second nonoverlapping electrodes electrically connected to the respective first and second contacts are located on respective first and second layers of dielectric material within the body. A floating electrode not connected to either of the contacts is located on a different, third layer of dielectric material. The floating electrode overlaps the first and second electrodes and forms two serially connected capacitors therewith.
