A multilayer capacitor includes a multilayer body in which dielectric
layers and inner electrodes are alternately laminated, and terminal
electrodes formed on the multilayer body. The inner electrodes include
first inner electrodes and second inner electrodes alternately arranged.
The terminal electrodes include at least three terminal electrodes. The
first inner electrodes are electrically connected to each other via a
through-hole conductor. The second inner electrodes are electrically
connected to each other via a through-hole conductor. At least two first
inner electrodes in the first inner electrodes are electrically connected
via a lead conductor to at least two respective terminal electrodes whose
number is smaller than the total number of the terminal electrodes by at
least 1 in the at least three terminal electrodes. At least one second
inner electrode in the second inner electrodes is electrically connected
via a lead conductor to the remainder of terminal electrodes other than
the terminal electrodes electrically connected to the first inner
electrodes via the lead conductor. An equivalent series resistance is set
to a desirable value by adjusting the number of at least one species of
the first and second inner electrodes electrically connected to the
terminal electrodes via the lead conductors.
