Abstract
A multilayer capacitor may include a monolithic body including a plurality of dielectric layers. A first external terminal may be disposed along a first end, and a second external terminal may be disposed along a second end of the capacitor. The external terminals may include respective bottom portions that extend along a bottom surface of the capacitor. The bottom portions of the external terminals may be spaced apart by a bottom external terminal spacing distance. A bottom shield electrode may be arranged within the monolithic body between a plurality of active electrodes and the bottom surface of the capacitor. The bottom shield electrode may be spaced apart from the bottom surface of the capacitor by a bottom-shield-to-bottom distance that may range from about 3 microns to about 100 microns. A ratio of a length of the capacitor to the bottom external terminal spacing distance may be less than about 4.
