A multilayer capacitor includes first and second internal electrodes that
are opposed to each other so as to generate an electrostatic capacitance
and have a capacitance generating portion functioning to generate the
electrostatic capacitance, terminal connecting portions connected to
corresponding external terminal electrodes, and extended portions
connecting the capacitance generating portion to the terminal connecting
portions. The extended portions are narrower than the capacitance
generating portion and the terminal connecting portion and are curved in
the direction of their thickness so as to provide a longer effective
length. The multi-terminal capacitor is capable of increasing an ESR
without adding a separate additional element.
