ABSTRACT:
A multipin matrix capacitor includes a first and second electrode separated by a dielectric material to form a capacitive element and includes terminals for connecting it to the first and second electrode wherein the terminals are distributed along the electrodes in a grid arrangement. Inductances are minimized or substantially eliminated in lead connections to the matrix capacitor due to the reduced conduction path lengths possible between an external component and the capacitor since access to the capacitor is provided at substantially all areas of the electrodes forming the capacitor. In one aspect of the invention, DC current is conducted along the surface of conductive sheets comprising the electrodes.
