Patent ID: 7394645

Claim:
A multilayer capacitor comprising: a multilayer body including a plurality of dielectric layers; first internal electrodes and second internal electrodes arranged alternately so as to be opposed to one another with the dielectric layer interposed therebetween inside the multilayer body; first extension portion extended from the first internal electrode to one lateral side of the multilayer body at one or a plurality of locations; second extension portion extended from the first internal electrode to another lateral side of the multilayer body at one or a plurality of locations; third extension portion extended from the second internal electrode to any one lateral side of the multilayer body; fourth extension portion extended from the second internal electrode to any one lateral side of the multilayer body other than the lateral side to which the third extension portions are extended; a first terminal electrode for electrically interconnecting the first extension portions located vertically in the stacking direction to one another; a second terminal electrode for electrically interconnecting the second extension portions located vertically in the stacking direction to one another; a third terminal electrode for electrically interconnecting the third extension portions located vertically in the stacking direction to one another; and a fourth terminal electrode for electrically interconnecting the fourth extension portions located vertically in the stacking direction to one another, wherein the multilayer capacitor satisfies one or both of the following relationships (a) and (b): (a) the length of the first extension portion is different from the length of the second extension portion, (b) the length of the third extension portion is different from the length of the fourth extension portion.
