Claim 22:
23. A multilayer capacitor comprising:
a body including a multilayer structure of dielectric layers and first and second internal electrodes with the dielectric layers interposed therebetween, the body including a first surface and a second surface to which the first internal electrodes and the second internal electrodes are respectively exposed, the first surface and the second surface opposing each other in a first direction, a third surface and a fourth surface opposing each other in a second direction which is a direction in which the dielectric layers are stacked, and a fifth surface and a sixth surface opposing each other in a third direction crossing the first and second directions;
a first external electrode disposed on the first surface and connected to the first internal electrodes, and including first band portions respectively extending on a portion of the fifth surface and a portion of the sixth surface; and
a second external electrode disposed on the second surface and connected to the second internal electrodes, and including second band portions respectively extending on another portion of the fifth surface and another portion of the sixth surface,
wherein a length in the third direction of a first portion, having an edge which extends substantially along the first direction, of one of the first internal electrodes, is less than a length in the third direction of a central portion of the one of the first internal electrodes, and is greater than a length in the third direction of a second portion, which is in contact with the first external electrode, of the one of the first internal electrodes,
wherein the first portion is arranged between the central portion and the second portion in the first direction, and
wherein the central portion is not directly connected to an external electrode in the third direction.
