MULTILAYERED CAPACITOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18538661 titled 'MULTILAYERED CAPACITOR

The abstract describes a multilayered capacitor with an external electrode that includes a sintered metal layer and a plating layer in two distinct regions.

  • The capacitor body consists of a dielectric layer and an internal electrode.
  • The external electrode is made up of a first region with a combination of sintered metal and plating layers, and a second region with a conductive resin layer in between.
  • The plating layer in the first region has a different average thickness compared to the plating layer in the second region, meeting specific criteria.
  • This design allows for improved performance and reliability of the capacitor.

Original Abstract Submitted

A multilayered capacitor includes a capacitor body including a dielectric layer and an internal electrode, and an external electrode disposed on the capacitor body. The external electrode includes a first region including a portion of a sintered metal layer and a portion of a plating layer and a second region including another portion of the sintered metal layer, a conductive resin layer, and another portion of the plating layer. An average thickness Tof the plating layer in the first region and an average thickness Tof the plating layer in the second region satisfy 0.2×T<T≤0.8×T.
