Abstract
Abstract A monolithic chip capacitor in which the electrode layers are bonded together at an edge. The capacitor includes an electrically conductive substrate that is electrically connected to the bonded edges of the electrode layers. The capacitor body has end terminal surfaces defined by electrically conductive material across one end of the body that is in electrically conducting contact with the substrate. In one form, the termination material is a folded end of the substrate itself. In another form, an end cap which can be thicker than the substrate, is folded to define the termination surface and to provide another surface in good electrical contact with the substrate.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
64 words
In a monolithic capacitor having electrode layers with their edges bonded to an electrically conductive substrate and center portions spaced and held by dielectric material in an interleaved, multi-layer capacitor body, the improvement comprising, electrically conductive material defining a termination surface approximately equal in area to one end of said capacitor body, and said material being in intimate, electrically conducting contact with said substrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
64 words
In a monolithic capacitor having electrode layers with their edges bonded to an electrically conductive substrate and center portions spaced and held by dielectric material in an interleaved, multi-layer capacitor body, the improvement comprising, electrically conductive material defining a termination surface approximately equal in area to one end of said capacitor body, and said material being in intimate, electrically conducting contact with said substrate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The improvement of claim 1 in which said conductive material is an extending portion of said substrate bent to define said termination surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
The improvement of claim 1 in which said conductive material is an electrically conductive end cap bent to have one surface in electrically conducting contact with the substrate and another surface defining the termination surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
99 words
In a monolithic capacitor having electrode layers with their edges bonded to an electrically conductive substrate and center portions spaced and held by dielectric material in an interleaved, multi-layer capacitor body, the improvement comprising, electrically conductive material defining a termination surface approximately equal in area to end of said capacitor body, said material being an extending portion of said substrate so as to be in intimate, electrically conducting contact with the rest of the substrate, said extending portion being bent across the end of the capacitor body, and encapsulating material enclosing the capacitor body and supporting the extending portion.
