US Patent 7974070 Multilayer ceramic device and mounting structure therefor

An NTC capacitor comprises a capacitor body having a plurality of insulator layers laminated therein, first to third inner electrodes arranged within the capacitor body, and first to third terminal electrodes arranged on outer surfaces of the capacitor body. The first inner electrode is connected to only the first terminal electrode. The second inner electrode is connected to only the second terminal electrode. The third inner electrode is connected to only the third terminal electrode. The third inner electrode opposes none of the first and second inner electrodes in the laminating direction of the insulator layers.
