Multilayer capacitor

A multilayer capacitor comprising:

• an element body of a rectangular parallelepiped shape, the element body including a pair of principal surfaces opposing each other in a first direction, a pair of first side surfaces opposing each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a pair of second side surfaces opposing each other in a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions;
• a plurality of first internal electrodes and second internal electrodes alternately disposed in the element body to oppose each other in the first direction;
• a first terminal electrode disposed on the element body and connected to the plurality of first internal electrodes;
• and
• a second terminal electrode disposed on the element body and connected to the plurality of second internal electrodes,
• wherein the element body includes an inner layer portion and a pair of outer layer portions, the inner layer portion being located between the pair of outer layer portions in the first direction, the plurality of first internal electrodes and the plurality of second internal electrodes being located in the inner layer portion,
• wherein a length in the first direction of the element body is smaller than a length in the second direction of the element body and smaller than a length in the third direction of the element body,
• wherein the first terminal electrode includes a first electrode portion disposed on the principal surface and a second electrode portion disposed on a one of the first side surfaces, the second electrode portion being connected to the plurality of first internal electrodes,
• wherein the second terminal electrode includes a third electrode portion disposed on the principal surface and a fourth electrode portion disposed on an other of the first side surfaces, the third electrode portion being separated from the first electrode portion in the second direction on the principal surface, the fourth electrode portion being connected to the plurality of second internal electrodes,
• wherein a difference between a maximum thickness and a minimum thickness of the first electrode portion is smaller than a difference between a maximum thickness and a minimum thickness of the second electrode portion,
• wherein a difference between a maximum thickness and a minimum thickness of the third electrode portion is smaller than a difference between a maximum thickness and a minimum thickness of the fourth electrode portion, and
• wherein the maximum thickness of the first electrode portion and the maximum thickness of the third electrode portion are larger than thicknesses of the respective outer layer portions.
