Multilayer capacitor

摘要

First and second external terminal electrodes are formed on the same principal surface of a capacitor main body. The connection between first internal electrodes in the capacitor main body, the first external terminal electrode and the mutual connection between the plurality of first internal electrodes is achieved by a first connection portion. The connection between second internal electrodes, the second external terminal electrode and the mutual connection between the plurality of second internal electrodes is achieved by a second connection portion. The first and second connection portions are arranged alternately. Currents flow through the connection portions in opposite directions with the result that components of magnetic flux generated by such currents are cancelled and the ESL is reduced.
