Multilayer capacitor

A multilayer capacitor comprising:

• a body including a capacitance formation region in which at least one first internal electrode and at least one second internal electrode are alternately stacked in a first direction with at least one dielectric layer interposed therebetween;
• and
• first and second external electrodes disposed on the body and spaced apart from each other to be connected to the at least one first internal electrode and the at least one second internal electrode, respectively,
• wherein a portion of the at least one first internal electrode and a portion of the at least one second internal electrode overlap each other in the first direction,
• the capacitance formation region further includes a third internal electrode connected to the first external electrode, a fourth internal electrode connected to the second external electrode, and a fifth internal electrode not connected to the first and second external electrodes and overlapping each of the third and fourth internal electrodes in the first direction,
• a region in which the at least one first internal electrode and the at least one second internal electrode form capacitance with each other is disposed between a plurality of regions in which the third, fourth, and fifth internal electrodes form capacitance with each other, and has a larger thickness than a total thickness of the plurality of regions in which the third, fourth, and fifth internal electrodes form capacitance with each other, and
• the third and fourth internal electrodes are disposed on the same level in the first direction.

A multilayer capacitor comprising:

• a body including a plurality of dielectric layers a plurality of internal electrodes alternately stacked in a first direction with a respective one of the plurality of dielectric layers interposed therebetween to form a capacitance formation region;
• and
• first and second external electrodes disposed on the body and spaced apart from each other,
• wherein the capacitance formation region is divided into three regions which are an upper region, a lower region, and a center region disposed between the upper and lower regions,
• at least one first internal electrode and at least one second internal electrode are disposed in the center region and connected to the first and second external electrodes, respectively, and have portions overlapping each other in the first direction,
• a third internal electrode and a fourth internal electrode are disposed in each of the upper and lower regions and spaced apart from each other to be connected to the first and second external electrodes, respectively,
• a fifth internal electrode is disposed in each of the upper and lower regions and spaced apart from each of the first and second external electrodes, and has portions overlapping the third and fourth internal electrodes, and
• wherein the third and fourth internal electrodes are disposed on the same level in the first direction.
