Patent ID: 6956730

Claim:
A multilayer capacitor comprising: a dielectric element formed of a stack of dielectric layers to be in a rectangular parallelepiped shape; two kinds of terminal internal conductors and two kinds of connecting internal conductors disposed in the dielectric element, being separated from each other by the dielectric layer; two kinds of terminal electrodes disposed on one face out of two faces opposite to each other of the dielectric element; and two kinds of external electrodes disposed on the other face of the dielectric element, wherein the terminal internal conductor of one kind has a first terminal-side leadout portion led out to the one face out of the two faces opposite to each other of the dielectric element and a first external-side leadout portion led out to the other face, and the terminal internal conductor of the other kind has a second terminal-side leadout portion led out to the one face and a second external-side leadout portion led out to the other face, wherein the connecting internal conductor of one kind has a third external-side leadout portion led out to the other face, and the connecting internal conductor of the other kind has a fourth external-side leadout portion led out to the other face; wherein the terminal electrode of one kind is connected to the first terminal-side leadout portion and all first terminal-side leadout portions are electrically joined, and the terminal electrode of the other kind is connected to the second terminal-side leadout portion and all second terminal-side leadout portions are electrically joined; and wherein the external electrode of one kind is connected to the first external-side leadout portion and the third external-side leadout portion, and the external electrode of the other kind is connected to the second external-side leadout portion and the fourth external-side leadout portion.
