Patent ID: 7019957

Claim:
A multilayer capacitor, comprising: dielectric layers; and at least four types of, that is, first to fourth, internal conductor layers insulated from one another by said dielectric layer and arranged in an order from the first to fourth ones in a dielectric body; wherein each of said first to fourth internal conductor layers is formed with at least one cut part; wherein said internal conductor layers are formed with channel parts for current to flow in return by said respective cut parts; wherein the channel parts in said internal conductor layers adjoining each other across said dielectric layer in the stacking direction carry current flowing in the reverse directions from each other; wherein plane shapes of said first internal conductor layer and said third internal conductor layer are symmetric each other with respect to the center of them; wherein plane shapes of said second internal conductor layer and said fourth internal conductor layer are symmetric each other with respect to the center of them; wherein said first internal conductor layer has a first lead part led to a first side surface of said dielectric body; wherein said third internal conductor layer has a third lead part led to a third side surface being opposite of said first side surface of said dielectric body; wherein said second internal conductor layer has a second lead part led to a second side surface being different from the first side surface and the third side surface of said dielectric body; and wherein said fourth internal conductor layer has a fourth lead part led to a fourth side surface on the opposite side of said second side surface of said dielectric body.
