Multilayer ceramic capacitor including a dummy electrode

Abstract

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes: a ceramic body; external electrodes each including a connection portion covering a part of an end surface of the ceramic body in a length direction, and a band portion extending from the connection portion and covering a part of both side surfaces of the ceramic body in a width direction and a part of one surface in a thickness direction; a plurality of internal electrodes stacked within the ceramic body with a dielectric layer interposed therebetween and alternately connected to the external electrodes, respectively; cover layers respectively disposed outside the plurality of internal electrodes along the thickness direction within the ceramic body; and a dummy electrode disposed within the first cover layer, wherein the first cover layer includes an exposed surface, which is a portion of the end surface exposed by the connection portion.
