Claim:
1. A multilayer capacitor comprising: a multilayer capacitor main body which includes first and second main surfaces, first and second side surfaces, and first and second end surfaces, the first and second main surfaces extending in a length direction and a width direction, the first and second side surfaces extending in the length direction and a thickness direction, and the first and second end surfaces extending in the width direction and the thickness direction; a first inner electrode extending in the length direction and the thickness direction and including a first effective portion, a first extending portion, and a second extending portion, the first extending portion being connected to the first effective portion and extending to the second main surface, and the second extending portion being connected to the first effective portion and extending to the second main surface; a second inner electrode extending in the length direction and the thickness direction and including a second effective portion and a third extending portion, the second effective portion facing the first effective portion in the width direction, and the third extending portion being connected to the second effective portion, not facing the first inner electrode, and extending to the second main surface; a first terminal electrode which is connected to an exposed portion of the first extending portion and extends across a portion of the second main surface on a side of the first end surface in the length direction, the first end surface, and the first and second side surfaces; a second terminal electrode which is connected to an exposed portion of the second extending portion and extends across a portion of the second main surface on a side of the second end surface in the length direction, the second end surface, and the first and second side surfaces; and a third terminal electrode which is connected to an exposed portion of the third extending portion and extends across a portion of the second main surface between the first terminal electrode and the second terminal electrode in the length direction and the first and second side surfaces; wherein a distance in the thickness direction between the first effective portion and the second main surface is shorter than a distance in the thickness direction between the first effective portion and the first main surface; a distance in the thickness direction between the second effective portion and the second main surface is shorter than a distance in the thickness direction between the second effective portion and the first main surface; and the first and second terminal electrodes extend across the second main surface from a first end to a second end in the width direction and have a thickest portion at a portion on a side of the first end beyond a center portion in the width direction.
