Patent ID: 7495884

Claim:
A multilayer capacitor comprising: a capacitor element body of a nearly rectangular parallelepiped shape in which a signal electrode layer and a GND electrode layer are laminated with a dielectric layer in between; and signal terminal electrodes and GND terminal electrodes each set of which is provided on either of two side faces along a longitudinal direction of the capacitor element body; wherein the signal electrode layer has a signal electrode led to each of the two side faces along the longitudinal direction of the capacitor element body and connected to the signal terminal electrodes; wherein the GND electrode layer has first and second GND electrodes separated from each other and arranged alongside as spaced in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the capacitor element body; wherein the first GND electrode is led to one side face along the longitudinal direction of the capacitor element body and connected to the GND terminal electrode; and wherein the second GND electrode is led to the other side face along the longitudinal direction of the capacitor element body and connected to the GND terminal electrode.
