A mounting arrangement of the present invention is provided for packaging a plurality of multiple layer capacitors together. First and second coupling devices are coupled electrically to respective first and second electrodes of each multiple layer capacitor of the plurality of multiple layer capacitors. A clamping devices clamps the first and second coupling devices, the plurality of multiple layer capacitors, and an electrically insulating layer to a mounting surface so that the electrically insulating layer is between the first coupling devices and the mounting surface and so that the plurality of multiple layer capacitors are electrically connected in parallel between the first and second coupling devices. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In FIG.
1, a capacitor 10, which is in the form of a multiple layer capacitor, includes a first terminal end 12 and a second terminal end 14.
Electrically coupled to the first terminal end 12 is a first plate 16, and electrically coupled to the second terminal end 14 is a second plate 18.
A dielectric 20, which may be a ceramic dielectric, for example, separates the first plate 16 and the second plate 18.
Additional plates 22 may also be electrically coupled to the first terminal end 12, and additional plates 24 may also be electrically coupled to the second terminal end 14.
Additional ceramic dielectrics 26 may separate the additional plates 22 electrically coupled to the first terminal end 12 and the additional plates 24 electrically coupled to the second terminal end 14.
End dielectrics 28 may further be provided, if desired, at the ends of the capacitor 10.
Thus, the first plate 16, the additional plates 22, and the first terminal end 12 form a first electrode of the capacitor 10, and the second plate 18, the additional plates 24, and the second terminal end 14 form a second electrode 32 of the capacitor 10.
Shown in FIG.
2 is a mounting arrangement 40 for mounting a plurality of capacitors, each capacitor of which may be constructed in accordance with the capacitor 10 shown in FIG.
1.
The mounting arrangement 40 includes an electrically insulating layer 42 for providing electrical insulation between the capacitors 10 and the mounting surface to which the capacitors 10 are mounted.
The mounting arrangement 40 next includes an electrically conducting layer 44 having appropriate connector tabs 46.
The electrically conducting layer 44 may be a substantially rigid conducting layer and may be formed by stamping a copper strip into an appropriate shape such as that shown in FIG.
2 and, if desired, may be nickel-plated.
The connector tabs 46 allow for electrical connection of the first terminal ends 12 of the capacitors 10 to a first electrical conductor of a circuit in which the capacitors 10 are to be used
