Abstract

An exemplary circuit board includes a plate body and a multilayer capacitor installed on a surface of the plate body. The multilayer capacitor includes a multilayer body and two outer electrodes located at the two opposite ends of the multilayer body. The multilayer body includes a plurality of ceramic layers and a plurality of internal electrodes alternately arranged. The two outer electrodes are connected to the plate body, and a stacking direction of the multilayer body is substantially parallel to the surface of the plate body.
