Multilayer ceramic capacitor

A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising a capacitor body of roughly rectangular solid shape, as well as a pair of external electrodes provided on both ends of the capacitor body in a length direction, where the external electrodes each have wraparound parts that wrap around onto at least a one height-direction face of the capacitor body, wherein:

• the capacitor body has:
• (a1) a capacitive element of roughly rectangular solid shape;
• (a2) first base conductor films provided on both length-direction ends of at least one height-direction face of the capacitive element;
• and (a3) a supplementary dielectric layer covering the space between the first base conductor films on the at least one height-direction face of the capacitive element except that there is a clearance between each of the first base conductor films and the supplementary dielectric layer in the length direction;
• one of the external electrodes has:
• (b1) a second base conductor film attached to one length-direction face of the capacitive element and also to one length-direction edge of the first base conductor film present on the one length-direction side of the capacitor body;
• and (b2) a surface conductor film attached continuously to a surface of the second base conductor film and also to a surface of the first base conductor film, wherein the wraparound part is constituted by the first base conductor film and the surface conductor film attached to the first base conductor film at the wraparound location, and the surface conductor film has, at the wraparound location, an insertion part that fills in the clearance;
• and
• another of the external electrodes has:
• (c1) a second base conductor film attached to another length-direction face of the capacitive element and also to another length-direction edge of the first base conductor film present on the other length-direction side of the capacitor body;
• and (c2) a surface conductor film attached continuously to a surface of the second base conductor film and also to a surface of the first base conductor film, wherein the wraparound part is constituted by the first base conductor film and the surface conductor film attached to the first base conductor film at the wraparound location, and the surface conductor film has, at the wraparound location, an insertion part that fills in the clearance.
