Claim 23:
24. A multilayer capacitor comprising a capacitor element having at least two segments, each segment comprising a plurality of layer planes including dielectric layers of ceramics and electrode layers disposed therebetween and stacked in a stacking direction, the electrode layers comprising different electrodes including at least first and second electrodes, the different electrodes overlapping in active regions and not overlapping in passive regions;
wherein the at least two segments are superimposed in the stacking direction;
wherein outermost dielectric layers of the at least two segments form a connection region in which the at least two segments are firmly connected to each other parallel to the layer planes;
wherein the connection region includes a plurality of relief regions which includes at least two relief regions that are not adjacent to outer sides of the capacitor element and that cross each other; and
wherein the plurality of relief regions occupies at least the entire passive region of the capacitor.
