MULTILAYER CERAMIC CAPACITOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18220896 titled 'MULTILAYER CERAMIC CAPACITOR

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a multilayer ceramic capacitor with several components and features. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

• The multilayer ceramic capacitor consists of a capacitor body, via-conductors, extended electrode portions, outer electrodes, and an insulative resin.
• The capacitor body contains inner electrodes, and the via-conductors are located inside the capacitor body and connected to the inner electrodes.
• The extended electrode portions are connected to the via-conductors and are positioned on the outer surface of the capacitor body.
• The extended electrode portions extend to different locations on the capacitor body than where they are connected to the via-conductors.
• The outer electrodes are connected to the extended electrode portions.

Bullet points explaining the patent/innovation:

• The multilayer ceramic capacitor design allows for efficient electrical connections between the inner electrodes and the outer electrodes.
• The use of via-conductors inside the capacitor body helps to optimize the electrical performance of the capacitor.
• The extended electrode portions being located on the outer surface of the capacitor body provide flexibility in positioning and connecting the capacitor in various electronic devices.
• The extended electrode portions extending to different locations on the capacitor body allow for improved electrical performance and reduced interference.
• The use of an insulative resin helps to protect and insulate the various components of the capacitor.

Original Abstract Submitted

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a capacitor body, first and second via-conductors, first and second extended electrode portions, first and second outer electrodes, and an insulative resin. The capacitor body includes first and second inner electrodes. The first and second via-conductors are inside the capacitor body, and are respectively electrically connected to the first and second inner electrodes. The first and second extended electrode portions are respectively electrically connected to the first and second via-conductors. The first and second extended electrode portions are located on an outer surface of the capacitor body so as to extend to locations different from locations at which the first and second extended electrode portions are connected to the first and second via-conductors. The first and second outer electrodes are respectively electrically connected to the first and second extended electrode portions.
