Abstract
The present invention is directed to a multilayer capacitor and a circuit board containing the multilayer capacitor. The capacitor includes a main body containing a set of alternating dielectric layers and internal electrode layers. Each internal electrode layer includes a top edge, a bottom edge, and two side edges extending between the top and bottom edges that define a main body; at least one lead tab extending from the top edge; and at least one lead tab extending from the bottom edge. At least one lead tab extending from the top edge and at least one lead tab extending from the bottom edge include a lateral edge aligned with a side edge of the main body. External terminals electrically connected to the internal electrode layers are formed on a top surface of the capacitor, a bottom surface of the capacitor, and an end surface between the top and bottom surfaces.
