Abstract
A monolithic chip capacitor in which the electrode layers are bonded together at an edge. The capacitor includes an electrically conductive substrate that is electrically connected to the bonded edges of the electrode layers. The capacitor body has end terminal surfaces defined by electrically conductive material across one end of the body that is in electrically conducting contact with the substrate. In one form, the termination material is a folded end of the substrate itself. In another form, an end cap which can be thicker than the substrate, is folded to define the termination surface and to provide another surface in good electrical contact with the substrate.
