Abstract

A multilayer ceramic capacitor may include a ceramic body having first to third dielectric layers, first and third internal electrodes disposed to be partially exposed to an upper surface of the ceramic body, second and fourth internal electrodes disposed to be partially exposed to a lower surface of the ceramic body, internal resistance electrodes disposed on the third dielectric layers and partially exposed to the upper surface of the ceramic body, first and third external electrodes disposed on the ceramic body to be connected to the first and third internal electrodes, second and fourth external electrodes disposed to be connected to the second and fourth internal electrodes. The first and third external electrodes are electrically connected to each other by the internal resistance electrodes.
