Patent ID: 7099138

Claim:
A multilayer capacitor comprising a multilayer body in which a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of inner electrode layers are alternately laminated, and a plurality of terminal electrodes formed on the multilayer body; wherein the plurality of inner electrode layers include first and second inner electrode layers alternately arranged; wherein the plurality of terminal electrodes include first and second terminal electrodes electrically insulated from each other; wherein the first inner electrode layer includes a first lead electrode connected to the first terminal electrode and a first capacitor electrode forming a capacitance component; wherein the second inner electrode layer includes a second lead electrode connected to the second terminal electrode and a second capacitor electrode forming a capacitance component; wherein the first capacitor electrode is provided with a pair of slits extending from a periphery corresponding to the first lead electrode, and a portion of the first capacitor electrode positioned between the pair of slits is continuous with the first lead electrode; and wherein the second capacitor electrode is provided with a pair of slits extending from a periphery corresponding to the second lead electrode and a portion of the second capacitor electrode positioned between the pair of slits is continuous with the second lead electrode.
