Original Abstract Submitted
A multilayered capacitor includes a capacitor body including a dielectric layer and an internal electrode, and an external electrode disposed on the capacitor body. The external electrode includes a first region including a portion of a sintered metal layer and a portion of a plating layer and a second region including another portion of the sintered metal layer, a conductive resin layer, and another portion of the plating layer. An average thickness Tof the plating layer in the first region and an average thickness Tof the plating layer in the second region satisfy 0.2×T<T≤0.8×T.
