Multilayer ceramic capacitor

A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising:

• a multilayer assembly with a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and including a plurality of unit multilayer bodies, each of the unit multilayer bodies including a plurality of internal electrode layers and a plurality of internal dielectric layers alternately arranged with each other;
• and
• external electrodes respectively located at corners of the multilayer assembly;
• wherein
• each of the unit multilayer bodies and two of the external electrodes define a unit capacitor, and the multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a plurality of the unit capacitors, and for the multilayer assembly, two surfaces opposite to each other in a lamination direction are defined as main surfaces, two surfaces opposite to each other in a width direction that intersects with the lamination direction are defined as side surfaces, and two surfaces opposite to each other in a length direction that intersects with the lamination direction and the width direction are defined as end surfaces;
• each of the external electrodes includes:
• an end surface portion extending on one of the end surfaces;
• a side surface portion extending on one of the side surfaces;
• and
• a main surface portion extending on one of the main surfaces;
• and
• the end surface portion, the side surface portion, and the main surface portion respectively define three side surfaces of a triangular pyramid with one of the corners defining an apex, and each has a substantially triangular shape.
