Abstract
An element body has a major capacitance forming portion to form a first capacitance, and a minor capacitance forming portion to form a plurality of second capacitances smaller than the first capacitance. The major capacitance forming portion includes a first internal electrode connected to a first terminal electrode, and a second internal electrode opposed to the first internal electrode and connected to a second terminal electrode. The minor capacitance forming portion includes a third internal electrode connected to the first terminal electrode, a fourth internal electrode arranged as separated from the third internal electrode in an identical layer and connected to the second terminal electrode, a fifth internal electrode opposed to the third and fourth internal electrodes and connected to the first terminal electrode, and a sixth internal electrode opposed to the third and fourth internal electrodes and opposed to the fifth internal electrode through a region between the third and fourth internal electrodes, and connected to the second terminal electrode.
