Patent ID: 8233262

Claim:
A multilayer capacitor array mounting structure for mounting a multilayer capacitor array onto a circuit board formed with a first lead connecting power lines to each other and a second lead for grounding; the multilayer capacitor array comprising: a capacitor element body having first, second, third, and fourth inner electrodes; a first terminal electrode disposed on an outer surface of the capacitor element body and connected to the first inner electrode; a second terminal electrode disposed on the outer surface of the capacitor element body and connected to the second inner electrode; a third terminal electrode disposed on the outer surface of the capacitor element body and connected to the third inner electrode; and a fourth terminal electrode disposed on the outer surface of the capacitor element body and connected to the fourth inner electrode; wherein, in the multilayer capacitor array, the first and second inner electrodes form a first capacitor section, while the third and fourth inner electrodes form a second capacitor section; wherein the first and third terminal electrodes are connected to the first lead, while the second and fourth terminal electrodes are connected to the second lead; and wherein a current flow through the first capacitor section in a differential mode is directed opposite to a current flow through the second capacitor section in the differential mode.
