Abstract: The present invention is directed to a multilayer ceramic capacitor. A plurality of active electrodes may be arranged within a monolithic body of the capacitor and parallel with a longitudinal direction. A first shield electrode may be arranged within the monolithic body and parallel with the longitudinal direction. The first shield electrode may be connected with a first external terminal. The first shield electrode may have a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge that are each aligned with the lateral direction and face away from the first external terminal. The second longitudinal edge may be offset in the longitudinal direction from the first longitudinal edge by a shield electrode offset distance. A second shield electrode may be connected with a second external terminal. The second shield electrode may be approximately aligned with the first shield electrode in the Z-direction.
