  • Ceramic capacitors with improved lead designs
    Patent number: 10056320
    Abstract: An electronic component is provided with improved thermal stability. The electronic component comprises at least one capacitive element wherein the capacitive element comprises internal electrodes of alternating polarity separated by a dielectric. External terminations with a first external termination of the external terminations are in electrical contact with internal electrodes of a first polarity and a second external termination of the external terminations are in electrical contact with internal electrodes of a second polarity. A first external lead frame is in electrical contact with the first external termination with a conductive bond there between wherein the first external lead frame comprises at least one feature selected from the group consisting of a perforation, a protrusion and an edge indentation.
