Abstract: Method for making novel, dip-coated monolithic ceramic capacitors from a pair of parallel integral multi-lead carrier strips 10 and 10a. Each of a plurality of capacitor bodies 18 is positioned and restrained between the wide contact faces 15, 15a of a pair of leads 13, 13a, soldered and dip-coated while the leads 13 and 13a are retained as integral parts of the carrier strips 10 and 10a.

Abstract: Incrementally adjustable multilayer monolithic capacitors having a set of base electrodes extending to and being coextensive with a first terminal end surface of the capacitor and a set of incremental electrodes extending to and being coextensive with a side surface of the capacitor. The base electrodes are electrically interconnected by a conductive metal coating on the first terminal end surface. Capacitance values of the resultant capacitor can be incrementally adjusted by electrically interconnecting or disconnecting one or more of the incremental electrodes either along the side surface to which they extend and are coextensive with or along the second terminal end surface of the capacitor.
