Abstract:
1. A multilayer capacitor comprising: a dielectric element having stacked sheet-like dielectric layers and having an outer surface; internal electrodes each disposed between adjacent dielectric layers and within the dielectric element, each internal electrode being in elongated shape with a first end and a second end and having a length L from the first end to the second end and a width W orthogonal to the direction of the length L; extraction electrodes each disposed on the first end of each internal electrode leading the internal electrode to the outer surface of the dielectric element; and external electrodes each connected to each internal electrode via each extraction electrode; wherein the length L is the length of the internal electrode along the center of the width W, and the length L and the width W of the internal electrodes are set such that 8≦L/W≦33.
