Original Abstract Submitted

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a capacitor body including dielectric layers and first and second inner electrodes that are laminated, a first via conductor inside the capacitor body and electrically connected to the first inner electrodes, and a second via conductor inside the capacitor body and electrically connected to the second inner electrodes. In a lamination direction in which the dielectric layers, the first inner electrodes, and the second inner electrodes are laminated, a dimension of the multilayer ceramic capacitor is the same or substantially the same as the dimension of the capacitor body.
