Abstract:
Degradation and variation of wideband characteristics of a capacitor circuit where capacitors are parallel connected are suppressed. A capacitor (15) having electrodes (15a, 15b) on its top and bottom faces and a metal block (16) having the same height as the capacitor (15) are mounted on an input/output pattern (13). A capacitor (17) having electrodes on its side faces is disposed on the electrode (15a) of the top of the capacitor (15) and on the metal block (16). Therefore, the electrode (15b) of the capacitor (15) and the bottom face of the metal block (16) are in surface contact with the input/output pattern (13). The electrodes (17a, 17b) of the capacitor (17) are in surface contact with the electrode (15a) of the capacitor (15) and the top surface of the metal block (16). Thus, the soldering can be effected with a small amount of solder, and degradation and variation of the wideband characteristics of the capacitor circuit are suppressed.
Abstract:
Laminar electrical devices, in particular circuit protection devices, contain two laminar electrodes, with a PTC element between them, and a cross-conductor which passes through the thickness of the device and contacts one only of the two electrodes. This permits connection to both electrodes from the same side of the device. It also makes it possible to carry out the steps for preparing such devices on an assembly which corresponds to a number of individual devices, with division of the assembly as the final step.

Abstract:
A circuit protection device which comprises first and second laminar electrodes; a laminar PTC conductive polymer resistive element sandwiched between the electrodes; a third laminar conductive member which is secured to the same face of the PTC element as the second electrode but is separated therefrom; and an electrical connector which connects the third conductive member and the first electrode. This permits connection to both electrodes from the same side of the device, so that the device can be connected flat on a printed circuit board, with the first electrode on top, without any need for leads. The connector is preferably a cross-conductor which passes through an aperture in the PTC element, because this makes it possible to carry out the steps for preparing the devices on an assembly which corresponds to a number of individual devices, with division of the assembly as the final step.
