Multilayer capacitor

A multilayer capacitor comprising:

• an element body having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape whose length in a longitudinal direction and length in a width direction are larger than a length in a height direction, and having first and second principal faces opposed to each other in the height direction, first and second side faces extending in the height direction so as to connect the first and second principal faces and opposed to each other in the width direction, and third and fourth side faces extending in the height direction so as to connect the first and second principal faces and opposed to each other in the longitudinal direction;
• a plurality of internal electrodes which are alternately arranged in the element body so as to be opposed to each other in the height direction of the element body and each of which has a main electrode portion opposed to another main electrode portion in the height direction of the element body and a leading portion extending from the main electrode portion to be exposed in the first side face;
• and
• a plurality of terminal electrodes each of which has only a first electrode portion arranged on the first principal face, a second electrode portion arranged on the first side face and connected to the leading portion of each corresponding internal electrode out of the plurality of internal electrodes, and a third electrode portion arranged on the second principal face,
• wherein an entire area of the second side face of the element body is exposed, and
• a space between the first electrode portions adjacent in the longitudinal direction of the element body is smaller than a length of the first electrode portion in the longitudinal direction of the element body.
