Abstract
A capacitor includes a capacitor body made of a dielectric, a first internal electrode, a second internal electrode, a first signal terminal, a second signal terminal, and a grounding terminal. The first and second signal terminals are connected to the first internal electrode. The grounding terminal is disposed on the outer surface of the capacitor body so as to be connected to the second internal electrode. The grounding terminal is connected to the ground potential. The grounding terminal includes a plating layer which is disposed on the capacitor body and which is connected to the second internal electrode.

A capacitor comprising:
- a capacitor body made of a dielectric, the capacitor body including a first principal surface and second principal surface extending in a length direction and a width direction, a first side surface and second side surface extending in the length direction and a height direction, and a first end surface and second end surface extending in the width direction and the height direction, and having a substantially cuboid shape;
- a first internal electrode disposed in the capacitor body;
- a second internal electrode disposed in the capacitor body and arranged to face the first internal electrode;
- a first signal terminal disposed on the first end surface and connected to the first internal electrode;
- a second signal terminal disposed on the second end surface and connected to the first internal electrode;
- and
- a grounding terminal disposed on a portion of the first side surface so as to be connected to the second internal electrode and connected to a ground potential;
- wherein
- the grounding terminal includes at least one plating layer disposed on the capacitor body and directly connected to the second internal electrode.
