Abstract
Abstract A capacitor arrangement for use in filtering high frequency noises includes a dielectric disc plate and electrodes deposited on opposite flat surfaces of the disc plate. A terminal leg extends from one electrode for the connection with ground, and two terminal legs extend from the other electrode for the connection with consecutive lead lines. The terminal legs connected with the consecutive lead lines are mounted with magnetic elements for increasing the inductance in the terminal legs.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
157 words
A capacitor arrangement for filtering high frequency noise signals in a lead line and bypassing the filtered noise signals to ground, comprising: (a) a dielectric body formed in the shape of a plate having opposite flat surfaces; (b) first and second electrodes deposited on respective said opposite flat surfaces of said dielectric body such that a predetermined capacitance is defined between said first and second electrodes; (c) a first terminal member electrically connected to said first electrode, said first terminal member partly overlapping said first electrode and extending laterally outward from said dielectric plate; (d) second and third terminal members electrically connected to said second electrode, each of said second and third terminal members partly overlapping said second electrode and extending laterally outward from said dielectric plate; and (e) first and second magnetic elements mounted on said second and third terminal members, respectively, to increase the inductance of the respective terminal member on which it is mounted.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
157 words
A capacitor arrangement for filtering high frequency noise signals in a lead line and bypassing the filtered noise signals to ground, comprising: (a) a dielectric body formed in the shape of a plate having opposite flat surfaces; (b) first and second electrodes deposited on respective said opposite flat surfaces of said dielectric body such that a predetermined capacitance is defined between said first and second electrodes; (c) a first terminal member electrically connected to said first electrode, said first terminal member partly overlapping said first electrode and extending laterally outward from said dielectric plate; (d) second and third terminal members electrically connected to said second electrode, each of said second and third terminal members partly overlapping said second electrode and extending laterally outward from said dielectric plate; and (e) first and second magnetic elements mounted on said second and third terminal members, respectively, to increase the inductance of the respective terminal member on which it is mounted.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
A capacitor arrangement as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first magnetic element is mounted at an intermediate portion of the said second terminal member so as to locate said first magnetic element apart from said dielectric plate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
A capacitor arrangement as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first magnetic element is mounted at a portion of said second terminal member which overlaps the second electrode so as to project said second terminal member away from the dielectric plate without any detent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
A capacitor arrangement as claimed in claim 3, wherein said portion of said second terminal member is bent in a shape of L and forms an electrical connection between one end portion of said second terminal member and said second electrode.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A capacitor arrangement as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first magnetic element is formed in a shape of cylinder with a bore extending axially therethrough.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
33 words
A capacitor arrangement as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first magnetic element mounted on said second terminal member is integrally formed with said second magnetic element mounted on said third terminal member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
A capacitor arrangement as claimed in claim 1, wherein said second and third terminal members are connected with each other at respective ends located over the second electrode.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
A capacitor arrangement as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first terminal member is formed in a shape of strip.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
26 words
A capacitor arrangement as claimed in claim 1, further comprising an insulative coating made of synthetic resin and covering a substantial portion of said capacitor arrangement.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
38 words
A capacitor arrangement as claimed in claims 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 or 9, wherein said first terminal member is coupled to ground and said second and third terminal members are connected to respective lead lines.
