Patent ID: 11600440

Abstract:
A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes: a laminate including dielectric layers and internal electrode layers; and external electrodes on the main surfaces of the laminate. The laminate further includes a first via conductor, a second via conductor, a third via conductor, and a fourth via conductor that connect the internal electrode layers and the external electrodes. The external electrodes include first external electrodes, second external electrodes, third external electrodes, and fourth external electrodes, each connected to the respective end surfaces of the via conductor. Each of the external electrodes does not extend to the side surfaces of the laminate. A ratio W/L of a dimension W in the width direction of the multilayer ceramic capacitor to a dimension L in the length direction of the multilayer ceramic capacitor is about 0.85 or more and about 1 or less. The dimension L in the length direction of the multilayer ceramic capacitor is about 750 μm or smaller.
