Abstract

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a multilayer structure wherein [t 1 2 ×L 1 ]/N≥10, when a distance between a first edge that is an outermost edge of internal electrodes that is not connected to a first or second external electrode and a second edge that is an innermost edge of the internal electrodes that is not connected to the first or second external electrode is L 1 , each thickness of dielectric layers is t 1 , and a stack number of dielectric layers is N, wherein [t 1 2 ×W 1 ]/N≥10, when a distance between a first edge that is positioned at outermost of the internal electrodes and a second edge that is positioned at innermost of the internal electrodes is W 1 , and wherein R is larger than W 1 , when a curvature radius of a corner of an edge of the internal electrodes is R.
