DESCRIPTION
The capacitor consists of a
rectangular block of ceramic
dielectric in which a number of
interleaved metal electrodes are
contained. This structure gives rise
to a high capacitance per unit
volume.
The inner electrodes are connected
to the two terminations and finally
covered with a layer of plated tin
(NiSn). A cross section of the
structur e is sh own in Fig.1.
