Original Abstract Submitted
A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a multilayer body including dielectric layers and internal electrode layers that are laminated, first and second main surfaces opposed to each other in a lamination direction, first and second lateral surfaces opposed to each other in a width direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the lamination direction, and first and second end surfaces opposed to each other in a length direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the lamination direction and the width direction. The multilayer body further includes external electrodes that are respectively provided on the first end surface and the second end surface and connected to the internal electrode layers. The internal electrode layers each include first and second regions respectively including different coverages. The first region includes a larger coverage than the second region. The first region is connected to a corresponding one of the external electrodes.
