A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a laminate including dielectric layers and internal electrode layers, and first and second external electrodes on surfaces of the laminate. The laminate includes first and second main surfaces oppose each other in a lamination direction, first and second side surfaces oppose each other in a length direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the lamination direction, and third and fourth side surfaces oppose each other in a width direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the lamination direction and the length direction. A length ratio E/Eof the first external electrode wrapping around to main surfaces of the laminate is about 0 or more and about 0.5 or less. A length ratio E/Eof the second external electrode wrapping around to the main surfaces of the laminate is about 0 or more and about 0.5 or less.

Multilayer ceramic capacitor

A mounting structure of a multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a substrate, and a multilayer ceramic capacitor connected to the substrate and including a laminate including dielectric layers and internal electrode layers, and external electrodes on main surfaces of the laminate. The laminate further includes first, second, third, and fourth via conductors connecting the internal electrode layers and the external electrodes. The external electrodes include first, second, third, and fourth external electrodes, each connected to respective end surfaces of the via conductor. Each of the external electrodes does not extend to the side surfaces of the laminate. A ratio W/L of a dimension W in the width direction of the multilayer ceramic capacitor to a dimension L in the length direction of the multilayer ceramic capacitor is about 0.85 or more and about 1 or less.

Mounting structure of a multilayer ceramic capacitor

A multilayer ceramic capacitor has a relationship of about 10&#xb0;&#x2264;&#x3b8;&#x2264;about 50&#xb0; and a relationship of about 10&#xb0;&#x2264;&#x3b8;&#x2264;about 50&#xb0;, where &#x3b8;denotes an angle between a first end surface and a perpendicular extending from a side of a first main surface at a point of intersection of the first main surface and the first end surface, and &#x3b8;denotes an angle between a second end surface and a perpendicular extending from a side of the first main surface at a point of intersection of the first main surface and the second end surface.

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a laminate including dielectric layers and internal electrode layers, and external electrodes on surfaces of the laminate. A silane coupling agent layer is on at least a mounting surface among surfaces of the laminate. The silane coupling agent layer is made of a fluorine-based silane coupling agent, and a silane coupling agent concentration on the mounting surface is about 0.1 or higher and about 365 or lower and is higher than a silane coupling agent concentration on a counter surface opposing the mounting surface, or the silane coupling agent layer is made of a carbon-based silane coupling agent, and a silane coupling agent concentration on the mounting surface is about 0.91 or higher and about 38.10 or lower and is higher than a silane coupling agent concentration on a counter surface opposing the mounting surface.
