Patent ID: 8004819

Claim:
A capacitor array comprising: a capacitor main body including a plurality of laminated dielectric layers having mutually opposed first and second principal surfaces, mutually opposed first and second side surfaces, and mutually opposed first and second end surfaces; a plurality of first outer terminal electrodes disposed on the first side surface and having substantial band shapes having widths less than a width of the first side surface; a plurality of second outer terminal electrodes disposed on the second side surface and having substantial band shapes having widths less than a width of the second side surface; and a plurality of first internal electrodes and a plurality of second internal electrodes disposed inside of the capacitor main body; wherein the plurality of first internal electrodes and the plurality of second internal electrodes are alternately arranged in a lamination direction and sets, each including the plurality of first internal electrodes and the plurality of second internal electrodes arranged alternately in the lamination direction, are arranged in width directions of the side surfaces; the first internal electrode includes a first capacitance portion opposed to the second internal electrode with a dielectric layer therebetween, a first lead portion which extends from the first capacitance portion toward the first side surface and which is electrically connected to the first outer terminal electrode, and a first protrusion portion partially protruding from the first capacitance portion toward the second outer terminal electrode on the second side surface while not extending to the second side surface; a width of the first lead portion is less than a width of the first capacitance portion and a width of an end of the first protrusion portion is less than the width of the first lead portion; the second internal electrode includes a second capacitance portion opposed to the first internal electrode with a dielectric layer therebetween, a second lead portion which extends from the second capacitance portion toward the second side surface and which is electrically connected to the second outer terminal electrode, and a second protrusion portion partially protruding from the second capacitance portion toward the first outer terminal electrode on the first side surface while not extending to the first side surface; a width of the second lead portion is less than a width of the second capacitance portion and a width of an end of the second protrusion portion is less than the width of the second lead portion; the first outer terminal electrode includes a first plating film directly connected to the first internal electrode; and the second outer terminal electrode includes a second plating film directly connected to the second internal electrode.
