US Patent 10304629 Multilayer ceramic capacitor

In an embodiment, a multilayer ceramic capacitor 10 has a first metal layer 14 having many holes 14a, and a second metal layer 15 having many holes 15a, with a clearance CL provided in between in the length direction, on the other height-direction side face of the capacitor body; the first metal layer 14 is partially covered by a third part 12c of a first external electrode 12, while the remainder is exposed; and the second metal layer 15 is partially covered by a third part 13c of a second external electrode 13, while the remainder is exposed. The multilayer ceramic capacitor can have excellent heat dissipation property.
