Multilayer capacitor array having terminal conductor, to which internal electrodes are connected in parallel, connected in series to external electrodes

摘要

A multilayer capacitor array achieves a high ESR because terminal conductors to which internal electrodes in capacitance sections are connected in parallel are connected in series through internal electrodes in ESR control sections to external electrodes. Since in the multilayer capacitor array the internal electrodes extend as far as a boundary between capacitor element portions, electrostriction occurs in an entire laminate including a region near the boundary between the capacitor element portions, with application of a voltage from the outside. Therefore, concentration of stress due to electrostriction is avoided, so as to suppress occurrence of cracking or the like.
