Original Abstract Submitted

An element body includes a main surface and a pair of end surfaces. Each external electrode includes a conductive resin layer on the main surface. Each auxiliary internal electrode is disposed in the same layer as a corresponding internal electrode of a plurality of internal electrodes and is electrically connected to the external electrode to which the corresponding internal electrode is not electrically connected. Each auxiliary internal electrode includes first and second electrode portions. The first electrode portion is exposed to a corresponding end surface of the pair of end surfaces and is electrically and physically connected to the external electrode to which the corresponding internal electrode is not electrically connected. The second electrode portion is positioned between the conductive resin layer of the external electrode to which the corresponding internal electrode is not electrically connected and the corresponding internal electrode.
