Patent ID: 7843679

Claim:
A multilayer capacitor comprising: a capacitor element body in which a plurality of insulator layers are laminated; first and second terminal electrodes disposed on an external surface extending in a direction parallel to a laminating direction of the insulator layers, among external surfaces of the capacitor element body; a first internal electrode group comprising a first internal electrode connected to the first terminal electrode, and a second internal electrode connected to the second terminal electrode; and a second internal electrode group comprising a third internal electrode connected to the first terminal electrode, a fourth internal electrode connected to the second terminal electrode, and at least one intermediate internal electrode not connected to the first and second terminal electrodes; wherein the first and second internal electrodes are arranged with the insulator layer in between so as to form a capacitance component between the first and second internal electrodes; and wherein the third and fourth internal electrodes and the intermediate internal electrode are arranged with the insulator layer in between so as to form two or more capacitance components between the third and fourth internal electrodes, wherein the first internal electrode has a first lead portion connected to the first terminal electrode, wherein the second internal electrode has a second lead portion connected to the second terminal electrode, wherein the third internal electrode has a third lead portion connected to the first terminal electrode, wherein the fourth internal electrode has a fourth lead portion connected to the second terminal electrode, and wherein a width of the third and fourth lead portions is larger than a width of the first and second lead portions.
