Claim 0:
1. A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising:
a multilayer body including a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of internal electrode layers alternately laminated therein, a first main surface and a second main surface opposing each other in a lamination direction, a first end surface and a second end surface opposing each other in a length direction which intersects the lamination direction, and a first side surface and a second side surface opposing each other in a width direction which intersects the lamination direction and the length direction; and
external electrodes respectively on the first end surface and the second end surface of the multilayer body, and each electrically connected to the internal electrode layers; wherein
the plurality of internal electrode layers include first internal electrode layers each extending toward the first end surface and second internal electrode layers each extending toward the second end surface;
the first internal electrode layer closest to the first main surface and the second internal electrode layer closest to the first main surface are opposed to each other in the lamination direction;
the second internal electrode layer closest to the second main surface and the first internal electrode layer closest to the second main surface are opposed to each other in the lamination direction;
there are no other electrode layers between the second main surface and the first and second internal electrode layers closest to the second main surface in the lamination direction;
the plurality of internal electrode layers do not oppose each other in the length direction; and
the multilayer body includes a slit in at least one of the first side surface, the second side surface, and the second main surface defining and functioning as a board-mounting surface.
