Claim 0:
1. A three-terminal capacitor comprising:
a main body having a cylindrical or substantially cylindrical shape extending in a first direction and including first inner electrodes and second inner electrodes alternately laminated together with dielectric layers interposed between the first inner electrodes and the second inner electrodes;
a pair of first outer electrodes on two end surfaces of the main body in the first direction and electrically connected to the first inner electrodes; and
a second outer electrode electrically connected to the second inner electrodes; wherein
the main body includes a projecting portion projecting in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the first direction at a position between the pair of first outer electrodes;
the second outer electrode is on one of surfaces of the projecting portion viewable when viewed in the first direction;
the first inner electrodes, the dielectric layers, and the second inner electrodes are laminated together in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the first direction;
the first inner electrodes each have a rectangular or substantially rectangular shape and are electrically connected to the first outer electrodes at the two end surfaces of the main body; and
the second inner electrodes each have a cross shape or a substantially cross shape and are electrically connected to the second outer electrode at the surface of the projecting portion that is parallel or substantially parallel to the two end surfaces of the main body.
