With leaded two-terminal capacitors, the residual inductance is [Notes]


larger because the lead wires work as inductors.
By making the three terminal structure ,the residual inductance
in series with capacitance become lower .Therefore the insertion
loss is better than two terminal capacitors.

The structural model of the chip three-terminal capacitor is shown [Notes]


above. An electrode pattern is printed on each dielectric sheet.
Input and output terminals are provided on both ends and are
connected using the electrode pattern. This structure allows the
signal current to pass through the capacitor.The residual inductance
on the ground terminal is reduced with ground terminals on both
sides.
This structure makes an extremely low residual inductance, which
provides a higher self-resonance frequency.

Feedthrough capacitors have a structure in which the ground [Notes]


electrode surrounds the dielectric and the signal terminal goes
through the dielectric. Feedthrough capacitors are used by making
a mounting hole in the shielding case and soldering the ground
electrode directly to the shielding case (plate). Since this type of
capacitor has no residual inductance on the ground terminal side
as well as on the signal terminal side, it can provide nearly ideal
insertion loss characteristics.
