Abstract:
1. A multilayer capacitor comprising: a dielectric element formed of a stack of dielectric layers; a pair of first internal conductors with same polarity disposed in the dielectric element to be adjacent to each other while being separated from each other by the dielectric layer; first leadout portions led out from the pair of first internal conductors respectively, one being provided for each of the first internal conductors; a pair of second internal conductors with same polarity disposed in the dielectric element to be separated from the pair of first internal conductors by the dielectric layers and to be adjacent to each other while being separated from each other by the dielectric layer; and second leadout portions led out from the pair of second internal conductors respectively, one being provided for each of the second internal conductors, wherein the first leadout portion and the second leadout portion led out respectively from the first internal conductor and the second internal conductor disposed adjacent to each other are led out to substantially same positions in side faces facing each other of the dielectric element, wherein electric currents in the first leadout portions of the pair of first internal conductors flow in a same direction relative to the first internal conductors and electric currents in the second leadout portions of the pair of second internal conductors flow in a same direction relative to the second internal conductors, and wherein the electric currents in the first leadout portions and the electric currents in the second leadout portions flow in reverse directions.
