Claim Text:
1. A capacitor element mounting structure comprising a plurality of capacitor elements mounted on a wiring board, each of the plurality of capacitor elements including a multilayer body including dielectric material layers and internal electrode layers layered in an alternating manner along a predetermined direction; wherein the plurality of capacitor elements include a first capacitor element and a second capacitor element, disposed near or adjacent to each other and arranged along a direction parallel or substantially parallel to a main surface of the wiring board, and electrically connected in series or in parallel via a conductive pattern provided on the wiring board; a main surface of the first capacitor element and a main surface of the second capacitor element that oppose the wiring board both have a rectangular or substantially rectangular shape including a pair of short sides and a pair of long sides; the first capacitor element and the second capacitor element each include a pair of end surfaces located opposite to each other on both ends in a direction in which the pair of long sides extend, a pair of side surfaces located opposite to each other on both ends in a direction in which the pair of short sides extend, and a pair of outer electrodes provided distanced from each other on an outer surface of the multilayer body; and the first capacitor element and the second capacitor element are mounted on the wiring board so that a direction in which the pair of long sides of the main surface on the first capacitor element extend is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to a direction in which the pair of long sides of the main surface on the second capacitor element extend and one of the pair of side surfaces on the first capacitor element opposes one of the pair of end surfaces on the second capacitor element.
