Abstract:
A multi-layer capacitor comprising:a capacitor body having two opposing major surfaces and four sides surfaces joining the two opposing major surfaces; a plurality of dielectric layers disposed in the capacitor body so as to extend substantially parallel to the major surfaces; at least one pair of first and second internal electrodes disposed in the capacitor body and opposed to each other with one of the dielectric layers interposed therebetween; a first side-surface terminal electrode and a second side-surface terminal electrode disposed each of the side surfaces of the capacitor body; and at least one major-surface terminal electrode on at least one of the major surfaces of the capacitor body, wherein the at least one pair of first and second internal electrodes are respectively electrically connected at respective ends thereof to the first side-surface terminal and the second side-surface terminal, one of the at least one pair of first and second internal electrodes is electrically connected to the major-surface terminal electrode through a via hole conductor penetrating one of the dielectric layers.
