Abstract
A multilayer capacitor includes a multilayer body with sides each about 0.3 mm or smaller when viewed from a stacking direction of the multilayer body, and first and second outer electrodes disposed on a surface of the multilayer body. An outermost one of the conductive layers is bent to be convex in the stacking direction and includes penetrating portions extending in the stacking direction. In a cross section perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of the multilayer body, assuming the bent conductive layer is equally divided into four regions named region A, region B, region C, and region D arranged in the order named in a widthwise direction of the multilayer body, a sum of minimum diameters of the penetrating portions is larger in the region A than in the region B and larger in the region D than in the region C.
