Patent ID: 7085124

Claim:
A multilayer capacitor, comprising: a multilayer body in which a first internal electrode layer and a second internal electrode layer are laminated alternately with a dielectric layer interposed; a first terminal electrode disposed on a first side face of said multilayer body parallel to a laminating direction in which said first and second internal electrode layers are laminated; a second terminal electrode disposed on a second side face of said multilayer body opposing said first side face; a third terminal electrode disposed on a third side face of said multilayer body, which is parallel to said laminating direction and extends in a direction that intersects with said first and second side faces; and a fourth terminal electrode disposed on a fourth side face of said multilayer body opposing said third side face; wherein said first internal electrode layer comprises a first internal electrode which extends so as to be extracted to said first side face and is connected to said first terminal electrode, and a second internal electrode, electrically insulated from said first internal electrode, which extends so as to be extracted to said third side face and is connected to said third terminal electrode; wherein said second internal electrode layer comprises a third internal electrode which extends so as to be extracted to said second side face and is connected to said second terminal electrode, and a fourth internal electrode, electrically insulated from said third internal electrode, which extends so as to be extracted to said fourth side face and is connected to said fourth terminal electrode; wherein a first capacitance component being formed by said second internal electrode and said fourth internal electrode; wherein a second capacitance component being formed by said first internal electrode and said fourth internal electrode; and wherein a third capacitance component being formed by said second internal electrode and said third internal electrode.
