Abstract:
A multi-layer capacitor comprising:a capacitor body having four sides including a first pair of opposed sides and a second pair of opposed sides, the capacitor body including a plurality of dielectric layers and at least a pair of first and second internal electrodes that oppose each other via one of said dielectric layers to define a capacitor unit, said first internal electrode having first lead-out portions, said second internal electrode having second lead-out portions, the first and second lead-out portions being arranged to interdigitate with each other;first polarity external electrode terminals being electrically connected to said first lead-out portions, at least one of the first polarity external electrode terminals being arranged on each of the first pair of opposed sides and at least one of the first polarity external electrode terminals being arranged on each of the second pair of opposed sides of the capacitor body; andsecond polarity external electrode terminals being electrically connected to said second lead-out portions, at least one of the second polarity external electrode terminals being arranged on each of the first pair of opposed sides and at least one of the second polarity external electrode terminals being arranged on each of the second pair of opposed sides of the capacitor body.
