A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes: a multilayer structure in which internal electrodes and dielectric layers are alternately stacked; a first external electrode connected to a subset of the internal electrodes; and a second external electrode sandwiching the multilayer structure with the first external electrode in a first direction is connected to another subset of the internal electrodes, wherein t&#xd7;W/N is equal to or more than 0.1, when a distance between a first edge positioned at outermost of the internal electrodes in a second direction intersecting with the first direction in a plane direction of the internal electrodes and the dielectric layers and a second edge positioned at innermost of the internal electrodes in the second direction is W(mm), each thickness of the plurality of dielectric layers is t(&#x3bc;m), and a stack number of the plurality of dielectric layers is N.

Multilayer ceramic capacitor with internal electrodes having different edge positions

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes: a multilayer structure having an internal electrode and a dielectric layer alternately stacked; external electrodes provided on a first and second faces of the multilayer structure, wherein t&#xd7;L/N is equal to or more than 0.1, when a distance between a first edge positioned at outermost of edges of the plurality of internal electrodes that are not connected to the first external electrode or the second external electrode in an array direction of the first external electrode and the second external electrode and a second edge positioned at innermost of edges of the plurality of internal electrodes that are not connected to the first external electrode or the second external electrode in the array direction is L(mm), each thickness of the plurality of dielectric layers is t(&#x3bc;m), and a stack number of the plurality of dielectric layers is N.
