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
end terminations
and finally covered with a layer
of plated tin (NiSn). The
terminations are lead-free.
A cross section of the structure
is shown in Fig.1.
