Patent ID: 8223471

Claim:
A multilayer capacitor comprising a capacitor element body formed by laminating a plurality of dielectric layers in a height direction of the capacitor element body, a terminal electrode formed on a side face of the capacitor element body, the side face being substantially parallel to the height direction, and a metal terminal disposed about the capacitor element body; wherein the metal terminal has a substrate connecting surface to become a connecting end to a mounting substrate, a terminal connecting surface to become a connecting end to the terminal electrode, and a joint surface for joining the substrate connecting surface and terminal connecting surface to each other and any areas thereof do not overlap each other as seen from the height direction, and wherein the substrate connecting surface is arranged on a bottom face side of the capacitor element body, the bottom face side being substantially perpendicular to the height direction, while each of the terminal connecting surface and joint surface has a first rising part rising from the substrate connecting surface by a height not exceeding that of the capacitor element body by bending only to one direction with respect to the substrate connecting surface, along the height direction of the capacitor element body.
