Abstract:
A capacitor comprising:a capacitor body made of a dielectric material and having two major surfaces opposed to each other and a plurality of side surfaces disposed between the two major surfaces;a plurality of first internal electrodes and a plurality of second internal electrodes disposed in the dielectric material of the capacitor body and being arranged such that the plurality of first internal electrodes are disposed substantially parallel to the two major surfaces of the capacitor body and the plurality of second internal electrodes are disposed substantially perpendicular to the two major surfaces of the capacitor body; andat least one external electrode disposed on one of the side surfaces of the capacitor body; whereinthe plurality of second internal electrodes includes at least one second internal electrode that extends from one of the two major surfaces of the capacitor body to the other of the two major surfaces of the capacitor body, and at least one second internal electrode that extends from said one of the two major surfaces of the capacitor body to a location spaced from the other of the two major surfaces of the capacitor body.
