Patent ID: 8922975

Claim:
A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising: a ceramic body; first and second internal electrodes provided within the ceramic body and including lead-out portions exposed to a first surface of the ceramic body and having an overlapping area. the overlapping area being exposed to the first surface of the ceramic body; external electrodes formed on the first surface of the ceramic body and connected to the respective lead-out portions; and an insulation layer formed on the first surface of the ceramic body and on third and fourth surfaces thereof connected to the first surface, wherein: the first and second internal electrodes include ends exposed to the third and fourth surfaces of the ceramic body, the lead-out portions have a predetermined interval from the third or fourth surface of the ceramic body, the insulation layer formed on the first surface of the ceramic body has a height lower than those of the first and second external electrodes measured from the first surface of the ceramic body, at least one of the external electrodes protrudes from the third and fourth surfaces of the ceramic body, and the insulating layers formed on the third and fourth surfaces of the ceramic body have a thickness (D 2 ), measured from the third and fourth surfaces, greater than a thickness (D 1 ) measured from the third and fourth surfaces of the external electrodes protruding from the third and fourth surfaces.
