ABSTRACT:
Surface mount capacitors are made having ultra-small dimensions of length, width and height. For example, capacitors of 0402 size and smaller may be produced having lower height than has been achieved in the prior art. The components have L-shaped terminations on respective ends thereof, providing bottom lands for mounting to a circuit board. At most, the component will have top lands of negligible size to provide a large gap width between the terminations across the top surface of the component. In some embodiments, the top surface may also include orientation indicia located thereon. The invention also provides improved methodology for terminating a capacitor or other surface mount component.
