Abstract

The mounting structure has a plurality of unit capacitors (1) comprising ceramic capacitor elements (2) with terminals (3), (4), and a three-tier substrate (10) comprising an insulating layer (11) sandwiched between two electrodes (12), (13). A plurality of apertures (15) is formed in the first electrode, in which are positioned bosses (16) being continuous with the second electrode (13), while the plurality of unit capacitors (1) is arranged on the first electrode (12), one terminal of each unit capacitor (1) being in contact with the first electrode (12) and the other with the second electrode (13) via a boss (16) so as to connect all the unit capacitors (1) electrically in parallel fashion.In this manner a mounting structure for capacitors is provided which permits of high capacity in a compact form.
