CERAMIC CAPACITOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress noise generated due to electrostriction in a ceramic capacitor.SOLUTION: A ceramic capacitor 1 comprises: a ceramic capacitor element 10; a pair of external electrodes 20 and 30; and a pair of connection terminals 40 and 50. The pair of external electrodes 20 and 30 separately covers opposing end faces of the ceramic capacitor element 10, respectively. The pair of connection terminals 40 and 50 is electrically connected to the respective external electrodes 20 and 30. The connection terminals 40 and 50 include at least two laminated layers made of materials having different Young's modulus. A base material layer, which is the thickest layer, has a Young's modulus lower than that of any other layer. Furthermore, the external electrodes 20 and 30 have conductive layers on both sides of the base material layer and have conducting means to electrically connect both of the conductive layers to each other.
