Abstract
A capacitor array includes four internal electrodes and internal electrode extraction sections which are in electrical conduction with the corresponding internal electrodes and have predetermined widths which are symmetrically arranged relative to a long-side-direction center of each dielectric sheet. Here, the internal electrode extraction sections are arranged so that a pitch between the internal electrode extraction sections is smaller than a pitch between the internal electrodes. In other words, the internal electrode extraction sections are arranged so that they are disposed towards the center in the direction in which they are disposed. A predetermined number of dielectric sheets formed in this way are stacked, and dielectric sheets not having electrodes are stacked above and below the stacked predetermined number of dielectric sheets. External electrodes which connect to the internal electrode extraction sections are disposed at side surfaces of a component defined by these stacked dielectric sheets in order to form a capacitor array including four capacitors on one component. The capacitor array has excellent drop shock resistance.
