Abstract:
1. A multilayer capacitor comprising: a capacitor body where a plurality of dielectric layers are laminated, the capacitor body including first and second surfaces opposing each other, wherein the first surface provides a mounting surface; a plurality of first and second inner electrodes arranged alternately to have different polarities opposing each other, while interposing a corresponding one of the dielectric layers, respectively; an inner connecting conductor having at least one polarity disposed adjacent to a corresponding one of the inner electrodes having different polarity, while interposing a corresponding one of the dielectric layers; and a plurality of first and second outer electrodes formed on an outer surface of the capacitor body, wherein a corresponding one of the outer electrodes having identical polarity to the inner connecting conductor comprises at least one outer terminal formed on the first surface of the capacitor body to connect to the inner connecting conductor, and at least one outer connecting conductor formed on the second surface of the capacitor body to connect a corresponding one of the inner electrodes of identical polarity to the inner connecting conductor, wherein the first and second surfaces are opposite each other in a direction which the plurality of first and second outer electrodes are connected to at least one of the plurality of first and second inner electrodes and the inner connecting conductor, and the direction is intersected with a laminated direction of the plurality of the first and second inner electrodes and the inner connecting conductor, and wherein the inner connecting conductor of the at least one polarity comprises at least one first and second inner connecting conductors, the at least one outer terminal comprises at least one first and second outer terminals formed on the first surface of the body to connect to the first and second inner connecting conductors, respectively, and the at least one outer connecting conductor comprises at least one first and second outer connecting conductors formed on the second surface of the body to connect the first and second inner electrodes to the first and second inner connecting conductors, respectively.
