Patent ID: 7701696

Claim:
A multilayer capacitor comprising: a capacitor element body with a dielectric property having first and second faces facing each other, and a third face extending in a first direction in which the first and second faces face each other, so as to connect the first and second faces, the third face is opposed to a mount surface; a first internal electrode with an end exposed in the first face and a second internal electrode with an end exposed in the second face, said first internal electrode and second internal electrode being arranged in the capacitor element body so as to face each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and parallel to the third face, while sandwiching at least a portion of the capacitor element body; a first terminal electrode having a first electrode portion disposed on the first face and connected to the exposed portion of the first internal electrode in the first face, and a second electrode portion disposed on the third face and connected to the first electrode portion; and a second terminal electrode having a first electrode portion disposed on the second face and connected to the exposed portion of the second internal electrode in the second face, and a second electrode portion disposed on the third face and connected to the first electrode portion; wherein the capacitor element body comprises an element body region sandwiched between the first internal electrode and the second internal electrode, wherein each of the second electrode portions of the first and second terminal electrodes comprises a pair of first regions extending from an edge in the first direction of the third face and arranged with the gap in the second direction, wherein when viewed along a third direction perpendicular to the third face, the pair of first regions overlap with portions of ends in the first and second directions of the element body region, and wherein when viewed along the third direction, a portion of the element body region located between overlaps thereof with the pair of first regions does not overlap with each of the second electrode portions of the first and second terminal electrodes, at an end in the first direction of the element body region.
