Patent ID: 8842415

Claim:
A multilayer ceramic capacitor, comprising: a multilayer body in which a plurality of dielectric layers are stacked in a thickness direction; and inner electrode layers formed within the multilayer body and including first and second inner electrodes disposed to be opposed to each other while having each dielectric layer disposed therebetween and having respective ends alternately exposed to sides of the multilayer body, opposing each other; wherein a ratio (C 1 /A 1 ) of C 1 to A 1 is between 0.35 and 2.0, wherein A 1 represents an area of a first length margin part in the cross section of the multilayer body taken in the length and thickness direction, the first length margin part being a portion of the first margin part extending from the first capacitance forming part in a length direction, and C 1 represents an area of a first thickness margin part in the cross section of the multilayer body taken in the length and thickness direction, the first thickness margin part being a portion of the first margin part extending from the first capacitance forming part in a thickness direction in the cross section of the multilayer body taken in the length and thickness direction.
