Patent ID: 7786824

Claim:
A multilayer filter comprising: a capacitor element body; at least two signal terminal electrodes placed on an exterior of the capacitor element body; and at least one grounding terminal electrode placed on the exterior of the capacitor element body; wherein the capacitor element body has a plurality of laminated insulator layers, a first signal internal electrode and a grounding internal electrode arranged so as to be opposed to each other with at least one insulator layer out of the plurality of insulator layers in between, and a second signal internal electrode arranged so as to be opposed to the grounding internal electrode with at least one insulator layer out of the plurality of insulator layers in between; wherein the second signal internal electrode is connected to the at least two signal terminal electrodes; wherein the first signal internal electrode is connected through a through-hole conductor to only the second signal internal electrode, wherein the first signal electrode has a main electrode portion having a rectangular shape and opposed to the grounding internal electrode; wherein the grounding internal electrode is connected to the at least one grounding terminal electrode; and wherein the grounding internal electrode is arranged between the first and second signal internal electrodes.
