Abstract

A multilayer capacitor whose equivalent series inductance is reduced includes a capacitor main body having a generally rectangular parallelpiped shape with two principal surfaces in a face-to-face relationship with each other and four side surfaces connecting the principal surfaces. A capacitor unit is formed in the capacitor main body by a respective pair of first and second internal electrodes disposed in the main body in a face-to-face relationship with a dielectric material layer interposed therebetween. At least three first external electrodes are located on respective ones of the side surfaces of the capacitor main body, with at least one of the first external electrodes being located on each of at least three of the side surfaces. The first internal electrode has at least three first lead electrodes, each of which extends to and is electrically coupled to a respective one of the first external electrodes. A plurality of second external electrodes are located on respective side surfaces of the capacitor main body and the second internal electrode has an equal plurality of second lead electrodes, each extending to and being electrically coupled to a respective one of the second external electrodes.
