Patent ID: 8526162

Claim:
A feedthrough multilayer capacitor comprising: a capacitor body in which a plurality of insulator layers and a plurality of inner electrodes are laminated; and first and second signal terminal electrodes and a grounding terminal electrode each disposed on an outer surface of the capacitor body; wherein the capacitor body has a conducting portion and a pair of capacitance portions holding the conducting portion therebetween in a laminating direction in the capacitor body; wherein the conducting portion includes a plurality of conducting inner electrodes connected to the first and second signal terminal electrodes as the inner electrodes; wherein each of the pair of capacitance portions includes a plurality of signal inner electrodes connected to the first and second signal terminal electrodes while adjacently opposing each other in the laminating direction, a plurality of first grounding inner electrodes connected to the grounding terminal electrode while adjacently opposing each other in the laminating direction, and a plurality of second grounding inner electrodes connected to the grounding terminal electrode while adjacently opposing each other in the laminating direction as the inner electrodes; wherein the plurality of first grounding inner electrodes are located between the conducting portion and the plurality of signal inner electrodes, one of the first grounding inner electrodes adjacently opposing one of the signal inner electrodes in the laminating direction; and wherein the plurality of second grounding inner electrodes are located between principal faces opposing each other in the laminating direction in the outer surface and the plurality of signal inner electrodes, one of the second grounding inner electrodes adjacently opposing one of the signal inner electrodes in the laminating direction.
