Abstract
A fused or high ESR ceramic capacitor for power applications has a fuse or resistor inserted between an end termination and a terminal for one set of alternating conductive plates in the capacitor. The length and thickness of the fuse allows adjustment of the current capability of the fail-open device which provides protection for the circuit in the event of short-circuiting, or the pattern created by the thick-film resistor application defining the added ESR for the capacitor.
