Abstract
A multi-layer capacitor is constructed to minimize equivalent series inductance, increase resonance frequency, reduce the size of the capacitor and greatly improve the ease of mounting of the capacitor. A dimension in a length direction and a dimension in a width direction of a capacitor body are substantially equal, and a pattern of opposing first and second internal electrodes is substantially square. First lead-out portions of the first internal electrode and second lead-out portions of the second internal electrode are extended onto two side surfaces and two end surfaces. First external electrode terminals connected to the first lead-out portions and second external electrode terminals connected to the second lead-out portions are arranged so that they alternate adjacently and are arranged such that oppositely disposed external electrode terminals have opposite polarities.
