A multilayer capacitor comprises first electrode layers having respective first conductor layers, second electrode layers having respective second conductor layers, dielectric layers each having opposite surfaces on which the first and second electrode layers are formed with the first and second conductor layers positioned adjacent the periphery of the capacitor, and independent electroconductive layers formed on each surface of each of the dielectric layers and lying in the same plane as occupied by the electrode layers on such surface of the respective dielectric layer.

Multilayer capacitor

A laminated capacitor with a plurality of capacitor units integrated therein, in which the hot-side electrode layer of a capacitor unit and the earth-side electrode layer of another capacitor unit are formed by being printed on the same surface of a dielectric layer, so that the coupling capacity between the electrodes of the capacitor units is reduced by the shielding effect of the earth-side electrodes.

Laminated capacitor

A printed circuit board which is an electrically insulative substrate of synthetic resin having at least one pair of spaced electroconductive layers. An electric and/or electronic component, such as resistor or capacitor, of a type which has no lead wires extending outwardly therefrom for external electric connection, but which is constituted by a substantially cubic body having its opposed area applied with respective films or foils of electroconductive material which serve as terminal electrodes, is mounted on the substrate with the terminal electrodes soldered to the respective electroconductive layers. To this end, each of the electroconductive layers has a round portion for connection with the associated terminal electrode of the component. Each round portion has an effective surface area equal to or smaller than any of the terminal electrodes.
