Abstract
Abstract A capacitor having a discharge gap, which comprises a generally plate-like substrate having a pair of opposite major surfaces and having a portion cut away to define an opening, first and second capacitive electrodes formed on the respective major surfaces of the substrate, and first and second discharge electrodes electrically connected with the first and second capacitive electrodes, respectively. The first and second discharge electrodes are positioned on respective sides of the opening in the substrate so as to confront each other across a discharge gap which includes the width and the thickness of the opening.

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A capacitor having a discharge gap, which comprises: a generally plate-like substrate having a pair of opposite major surfaces and having a portion cut away to define an opening; first and second capacitive electrodes formed on the respective major surfaces of the substrate; and first and second discharge electrodes electrically connected with the first and second capacitive electrodes, respectively, said first and second discharge electrodes being positioned on respective sides of the opening in the substrate so as to confront each other across a discharge gap including the opening, and further comprising a pair of leads each having one end portion rigidly connected to a respective capacitive electrode and another end portion adapted for external electric connection, said discharge electrodes being formed integrally with the respective leads at a substantially intermediate portion thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
