A module containing a plurality of active capacitors and a sacrificial capacitor is provided. The active capacitors and sacrificial capacitor are aligned along a horizontal direction so that the side surfaces of their cases are parallel to each other. The particular arrangement of the active capacitors and sacrificial capacitor results in a module configuration where the anode terminations for the active capacitors and an external component of the lead frame for the sacrificial capacitor are coplanar so that the module can be mounted to a circuit board via the anode terminations and the external component of the lead frame in a mechanically and electrically stable manner. Further, the center of gravity of the module in the length and/or width directions can be located at a midpoint of the overall module length and/or width, which enhances the stability of the module when mounted to a circuit board.
