Abstract
Multilayer capacitors are provided. For example, a multilayer capacitor may include first and second terminals adjacent first and second opposing end surfaces, respectively, and a plurality of active electrode layers, each active electrode layer including a first active electrode electrically connected with the first terminal and a second active electrode electrically connected with the second terminal. The first active electrode may be spaced apart from the second active electrode in a lengthwise direction to form an active electrode end gap. The multilayer capacitor also may include a plurality of floating electrode layers, including topmost and bottommost floating electrode layers. The plurality of active electrode layers may be an odd number such that a topmost active electrode layer is disposed between the topmost floating electrode layer and a top surface and a bottommost active electrode layer is disposed between the bottommost floating electrode layer and a bottom surface.
