Abstract
A capacitor device mountable on a plane of a substrate includes an electrically conductive bottom plate adapted to be mounted substantially parallel to, and in electrical contact at the plane of the substrate and a first multilayer capacitor having substantially parallel first and second electrode plates oriented substantially perpendicular to the bottom plate with the first electrode plates being electrically connected to the bottom plate. An electrically conductive top lead frame overlaps with, and is electrically isolated from, the bottom plate. The top lead frame electrically connected to the second electrode plates and adapted to be electrically connected at the plane of the substrate. The bottom lead frame may have a corrugated shape, where the corrugated shape provides compliance between the first multilayer capacitor and the substrate. A portion of the top lead frame may contact at least a portion of a side of the first multilayer capacitor.
