1. A substrate, comprising:
first and second pairs of electrical contacts on a first surface of the substrate and configured to receive corresponding first and second surface-mount capacitors in one of two perpendicular orientations,
wherein the first pair of electrical contacts is configured to connect the first surface-mount capacitor to both a first circuit branch of the substrate and to a second circuit branch of the substrate,
wherein the second pair of electrical contacts is configured to connect the second surface-mount capacitor to both the first circuit branch of the substrate and to a third circuit branch of the substrate, and
wherein the first and second pairs of electrical contacts each have an intra-pair spacing corresponding to a first orientation of the two perpendicular orientations and an inter-pair spacing corresponding to a second orientation of the two perpendicular orientations.
