Abstract

The present invention provides a multi-layer capacitor. It has internal electrodes extending over a part at least of each layer and connected electrically and thermally alternately to one or other of two terminals extending over a junction edge of the capacitor and over a part at least of a lateral edge adjacent said junction edge. To each of the terminals is soldered an electrical connection adapted to provide also heat drainage. Such a structure improves the drainage of the heat dissipated in the capacitor during operation under high reactive power or at high frequency.
