Abstract
Provided is a monolithic multilayered ceramic capacitor comprising multiple capacitive couples encased in a continuous ceramic. The continuous ceramic further comprises a ceramic separator between adjacent capacitive couples. Each capacitive couple comprises active electrodes wherein first active electrodes of adjacent active electrodes of each capacitive couple are in electrical contact with a first external termination and second active electrodes of adjacent active electrodes of each capacitive couple are in electrical contact with a second external termination.
