US Patent 10026550 Multilayer ceramic capacitor and board having the same

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a ceramic body including a dielectric layer and first and second internal electrodes alternately disposed with the dielectric layer interposed therebetween. The first internal electrode includes a first electrode plate and a first lead portion exposed to an external surface of the ceramic body and the second internal electrode includes a second electrode plate and a second lead portion exposed to an external surface of the ceramic body. The relationship Mb>Mt may be satisfied, where Mb is a length of the first and second lead portions extending from the first and second electrode plates to a mounting surface of the ceramic body to which the first and second lead portions are exposed and Mt is a length from the first and second electrode plates to a surface of the ceramic body opposing the mounting surface.
