Samsung Electro-Mechanics patents multi-layer ceramic capacitor and board for mounting the same.
There is provided a multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a ceramic body including dielectricThe insulating material between the plates of the capacitor. The material is chosen for its ability to permit electrostatic attraction and repulsion to take place across it. The material will have the property that energy required to establish an electric field is recoverable in whole or in part, as electric energy. In other words, a good dielectric material is a poor conductor of electricity while being an effective supporter of electrostatic fields. layers and having first and second main surfaces facing each other, first and second side surfaces facing each other, and first and second end surfaces facing each other; a capacitor part formed in the ceramic body and including a first internal electrodeA solid electric conductor through which an electric current enters or leaves in a medium having a lead exposed to the first side surface and a second internal electrodeA solid electric conductor through which an electric current enters or leaves in a medium exposed to the second end surface; first to third internal connecting conductors formed in the ceramic body and having at least one polarityAn electrical condition determining the direction in which current tends to flow. The quality of having two opposite charges.; and first to fourth external electrodes electrically connected to the first and second internal electrodes and the first to third internal connecting conductors, wherein the first and second internal connecting conductors and the third internal connecting conductor are connected in parallel, and the first to third internal connecting conductors and the capacitor part are connected in series.
