Monolithic capacitor

A monolithic capacitor comprising:

• a laminated body including a plurality of dielectric layers and being in or substantially in a shape of a rectangular parallelepiped including six surfaces, the laminated body including a first surface defining a mounting surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, a third surface and a fourth surface orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the first surface and the second surface and opposite to each other, and a fifth surface and a sixth surface orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to each of the first surface through the fourth surface and opposite to each other;
• a plurality of capacitor electrodes disposed in the laminated body, the capacitor electrodes each including a capacitive portion and a lead portion extending outward from the capacitive portion to at least one of the surfaces of the laminated body, the capacitive portions facing each other with each of the dielectric layers interposed between adjacent ones of the capacitive portions;
• and
• a first outer electrode and a second outer electrode disposed on at least one of the surfaces of the laminated body and connected to the lead portions, wherein
• an inequality G1>G2 is satisfied, where G1 is a gap dimension between the first surface and the capacitive portions and G2 is a gap dimension between the second surface and the capacitive portions.
