Abstract
A supporting-terminal-equipped capacitor chip includes a capacitor chip, and first and second supporting terminals that are electrically conductive and hold the capacitor chip therebetween. A portion of the capacitor chip other than a first connection portion and the first supporting terminal are separated from each other. A portion of the capacitor chip other than a second connection portion and the second supporting terminal are separated from each other. The first connection portion is located on the first main surface adjacent to a first end surface. The second connection portion is located on the first main surface adjacent to a second end surface.
