Abstract:
1. A ceramic capacitor comprising: a capacitor body including an outer surface, wherein the outer surface includes: a metal layer arranged on the outer surface of the capacitor body, wherein: the capacitor body includes a first layer section and a second layer section; the first layer section includes a plurality of ceramic dielectric layers and a plurality of internal electrodes, wherein the ceramic dielectric layers and the internal electrodes are layered alternately; the second layer section is exposed at the first capacitor major surface, and includes a corner portion at a boundary between the first capacitor major surface and the capacitor lateral surface; the metal layer covers the corner portion of the second layer section; the metal layer includes a lateral surface cover portion covering an end portion of the capacitor lateral surface closer to the first capacitor major surface; size of the lateral surface cover portion of the metal layer is substantially equal to size of the second layer section in the thickness direction of the capacitor body; and the first layer section includes a lateral surface exposed at the capacitor lateral surface.
