Abstract:
A capacitor comprising:a capacitor body having first and second major surfaces and including a laminated stack of a plurality of dielectric layers, a plurality of first internal electrodes opposed to each other with at least one of the dielectric layers being disposed therebetween and being electrically connected with each other, and a plurality of second internal electrodes opposed to each other with at least one of the dielectric layers being disposed therebetween and being electrically connected with each other; a plurality of first external terminal electrodes each being electrically connected to a respective one of the plurality of first internal electrodes; and a plurality of second external terminal electrodes each being electrically connected to a respective one of the plurality of second internal electrodes; wherein the plurality of first external terminal electrodes are located at least on the first major surface of the capacitor body and extend substantially parallel to the plurality of first internal electrodes, and the plurality of second external terminal electrodes are located on both the first major surface and the second major surface of the capacitor body, and each of the plurality of second external terminal electrodes located on the first major surface of the capacitor body is located directly above a corresponding one of the second external terminal electrodes located on the second major surface of the capacitor body.
