Relatively low noise capacitors are provided for surface mounted applications. Electro-mechanical vibrations generate audible noise, which are otherwise relatively reduced through modifications to MLCC device structures, and/or their mounting interfaces on substrates such as printed circuit boards (PCBs). Different embodiments variously make use of flexible termination compliance so that surface mounting has reduced amplitude vibrations transmitted to the PCB. In other instances, side terminal and transposer embodiments effectively reduce the size of the mounting pads relative to the case of the capacitor, or a molded enclosure provides standoff, termination compliance and clamping of vibrations.

The apparatus further includes one or more mechanical energy storage components, wherein each of the one or more mechanical energy storage components provide a force that is greater than an external force exerted on the apparatus.

A system is provided for providing vibration isolation and acceleration compensation for a device such as a vibration-sensitive oscillator or sensor. The system has an assembly that moves or vibrates relative to an external component. The assembly includes a plurality of components mounted to either side of a PCB. One or more accelerometers are configured to detect acceleration of the PCB in at least one of an X-axis direction, a Y-axis direction, and a Z-axis direction. The system includes plurality of isolators coupled to the assembly and configured to isolate or dampen vibrations that would otherwise transfer to the assembly from an underlying component to which the assembly is configured to attach to. In certain embodiments, the isolators are located between the assembly and the underlying component within vertical confines of an exterior perimeter of the PCB.
