Patent ID: 8659872

Claim:
A multilayer capacitor comprising: a capacitor element body having a first capacitor unit including first and second inner electrodes stacked adjacent to each other through a dielectric layer and a second capacitor unit including third and fourth inner electrodes stacked adjacent to each other through a dielectric layer; a first terminal unit arranged on an outer surface of the capacitor element body and connected to the first inner electrode, the first inner electrode being covered with a first electrode layer: a second terminal unit arranged on the outer surface of the capacitor element body and connected to the second inner electrode; a third terminal unit arranged on the outer surface of the capacitor element body and connected to the third inner electrode, the third inner electrode being covered with a third electrode layer: and a fourth terminal unit arranged on the outer surface of the capacitor element body and connected to the fourth inner electrode; wherein: the first and third terminal units are integrated into a first integral terminal electrode, while the second and fourth terminal units are integrated into a second integral terminal electrode, the first terminal units have a high resistance part exhibiting an electrical resistance higher than that of the third and fourth terminal units, and the high resistance part is a high resistance layer that covers the first electrode layer formed so as to cover an exposed end of the first inner electrode of the first capacitor unit, and the high resistance layer and the third electrode layer are directly covered with a second electrode layer.
