Multilayer ceramic capacitor

A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising:

• a body including a capacitance region in which a first internal electrode and a second internal electrode are alternately stacked in a first direction with a dielectric layer interposed therebetween;
• and
• first and second external electrodes spaced apart from each other with the capacitance region interposed therebetween in a second direction, different from the first direction, disposed on the body, and connected to the first and second internal electrodes, respectively,
• wherein
• the body further includes a plurality of cover layers disposed to sandwich the capacitance region therebetween in the first direction,
• one of the plurality of cover layers has a plurality of depressions each disposed in a first outer surface thereof in the first direction,
• the plurality of depressions are respectively spaced apart from outer surfaces of the one of the plurality of cover layers in the second direction, and
• each of the plurality of depressions overlaps the first internal electrode and the second internal electrode in the first direction.

A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising:

• a body including a capacitance region in which a first internal electrode and a second internal electrode are alternately stacked in a first direction with a dielectric layer interposed therebetween;
• and
• first and second external electrodes disposed on outer end surfaces of the body and spaced apart from each other in a second direction, different from the first direction, and connected to the first and second internal electrodes, respectively,
• wherein the body further includes a plurality of depressions each disposed on at least one outer surface thereof in the first direction, extending in a third direction, different from the first and second directions, and having two wall surfaces facing each other in the second direction, and
• each of the first and second external electrodes extends onto the at least one outer surface of the body and covers at least a portion of a closer one of the plurality of depressions.
