A multilayer capacitor has a multilayer body, and first and second
terminal electrodes. In the multilayer body first and second internal
electrode are laminated with a dielectric layer in between. The first
internal electrode includes first and second electrode portions with a
dielectric region between them along the laminating direction of the
multilayer body, and a connection portion for electrically connecting the
first and second electrode portions. The second internal electrode
includes first and second electrode portions with a dielectric region
between them along the laminating direction of the multilayer body, and a
connection portion for electrically connecting the first and second
electrode portions. The first internal electrode is electrically
connected to the first terminal electrode, and the second internal
electrode to the second terminal electrode.
