Dual mica capacitor

A capacitor comprising two electrical terminal leads and two elementary capacitors, each capacitor having a rectangular body block of stacked mica sheets including two electrode coatings of electrical conductive material covering at least two substantially parallel opposite edges of said block, said block of one elementary capacitor being connected in parallel to said block of other elementary capacitor by means of the end portions of said electrical terminal leads, said end portions being flattened and sandwiched between two main opposed faces of said blocks, projecting outward slightly beyond said substantially parallel edges of said blocks, and each being bounded in parallel to said edges of said blocks by soldering to said electrode coatings, whereby an intermediate space separates said main opposed faces of said elementary capacitor blocks.
