Abstract:
1. A multilayer capacitor comprising: a laminate body of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape in which a plurality of dielectric layers are laminated together, said laminate body having first and second side faces extending along a laminate direction of the dielectric layers and along a longitudinal direction of the laminate body and facing each other, and third and fourth side faces extending along the laminate direction of the dielectric layers and along a transverse direction of the laminate body and facing each other; a first terminal electrode disposed on the first side face of the laminate body; a second terminal electrode disposed on the second side face of the laminate body; a first connection conductor disposed on the third side face of the laminate body; a first internal conductor having a first portion led out to the first and third side faces to be connected to the first terminal electrode and to the first connection conductor, said first internal conductor being arranged inside the laminate body; a second internal conductor having a lead portion led out to the second side face to be connected to the second terminal electrode, and a main electrode portion coupled to the lead portion, said second internal conductor being arranged in the same layer as the first internal conductor inside the laminate body; a third internal conductor having a lead portion led out to the third side face to be connected to the first connection conductor, and a main electrode portion coupled to the lead portion, said third internal conductor being arranged so as to be adjacent to the second internal conductor in the laminate direction with the dielectric layer in between inside the laminate body; and a fourth internal conductor having a lead portion led out to the second side face to be connected to the second terminal electrode, and a main electrode portion coupled to the lead portion, said fourth internal conductor being arranged so as to be adjacent to the third internal conductor in the laminate direction with the dielectric layer in between inside the laminate body, wherein when viewed from the laminate direction of the dielectric layers, the main electrode portion of the third internal conductor overlaps with the main electrode portions of the second and fourth internal conductors, and wherein a width of the first portion is smaller than a width of the main electrode portion of the second internal conductor in the longitudinal direction of the laminate body and a width of the main electrode portion of the second internal conductor in the transverse direction of the laminate body.
