PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a ceramic capacitor in which cracking of a ceramic element due to local action of a stress, incident to deformation or vibration of an external terminal, to the ceramic dielectric layer of a capacitor element can be suppressed.SOLUTION: A ceramic capacitor 10 includes a capacitor element 11 including a planar ceramic element 12 and a pair of strip external electrodes 15 formed, respectively, on a pair of end faces of the ceramic element 12 facing each other, a pair of strip metal plates 16 bonded conductively to the external electrode 15 of the capacitor element 11, and a plurality of metal terminals 17 bonded conductively to a plurality of positions of the strip metal plates 16 in the longitudinal direction thereof, while spaced apart from each other. Consequently, the stress incident to deformation or vibration of the metal terminal is dispersed via the metal plate in the longitudinal direction thereof, and transmitted over the whole strip external electrode of the capacitor element 11, while being relaxed. |
