DESCRIPTION
Each capacitor element consists of a
rectangularblockofceramicdielectric
in which a number of interleaved
precious metal electrodes are
contained. This structure gives rise to
a high capacitance per unit volume.
Theinnerelectrodesareconnectedto
the two terminations, silver dipped
with a barrier layer of plated nickel
and finally covered with a layer of
plated tin (NiSn). An outline of the
structure is shown in Fig.1.
