Multilayer electronic component having improved electrode structure for increased capacity per unit volume

Abstract

A multilayer electronic component includes: a body including dielectric layers and first and second internal electrodes alternately disposed with the dielectric layers respectively interposed therebetween, the first internal electrodes being exposed to two end surfaces of the body, the second internal electrodes being exposed to a mounting surface of the body perpendicular to the end surfaces; a pair of connection portions each including a conductive layer disposed on one of the end surfaces of the body and connected to the first internal electrodes and an insulating layer disposed on the conductive layer; first and second external electrodes disposed on the mounting surface of the body and connected to the conductive layers of the pair of connection portions, respectively; and a third external electrode disposed between the first and second external electrodes on the mounting surface of the body and connected to the second internal electrodes.
