US Patent 11756735 Multilayer ceramic capacitor

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a capacitor main body including a multilayer body including dielectric layers and internal electrode layers alternately laminated therein, and external electrodes each at one of two end surfaces of the multilayer body and connected to the internal electrode layers, and two interposers on a surface in a lamination direction of the capacitor main body, and opposed and spaced apart from each other in a length direction connecting the two end surfaces. The two interposers each include a first recess portion on an end surface of the interposer opposed to an end surface facing the other interposer, in an area around a middle portion of the interposer in a width direction, and second recess portions on both sides in the width direction of the first recess portion, and each having a thickness of about ±10% of a half of a thickness of the interposer.
