Patent ID: 7203054

Claim:
A multilayer capacitor comprising: a multilayer body having a plurality of dielectric layers laminated therein; a plurality of first terminal electrodes arranged on an outer surface of the multilayer body; and a plurality of second terminal electrodes arranged on an outer surface of the multilayer body while being electrically insulated from the plurality of first terminal electrodes; wherein the multilayer body has a plurality of inner conductors arranged so as to interpose at least one dielectric layer therebetween; wherein the plurality of inner conductors include a plurality of first inner electrodes each having one lead conductor, a plurality of second inner electrodes each having one lead conductor, a first bridge conductor, and a second bridge conductor; wherein the first inner electrodes are electrically connected to respective first terminal electrodes in the plurality of first terminal electrodes through the respective lead conductors; wherein the second inner electrodes are arranged so as to oppose the first inner electrodes by way of the dielectric layers while being electrically connected to respective second terminal electrodes in the plurality of second terminal electrodes through the respective lead conductors; wherein the first bridge conductor is arranged so as to be electrically insulated from the second inner electrodes while electrically connecting the plurality of first terminal electrodes, and the first bridge conductor is positioned on one outermost side in a laminating direction in the plurality of inner conductors; and wherein the second bridge conductor is arranged so as to be electrically insulated from the first inner electrodes while electrically connecting the plurality of second terminal electrodes, and the second bridge conductor is positioned on the other outermost side in the laminating direction in the plurality of inner conductors.
