The present invention relates to a multilayer electronic component which includes an element body where a plurality of internal electrode layers and dielectric layers are alternately laminated. Insulating layers are disposed on at least one side surface of the element body. The insulating layers contain a glass composition and a ceramic composition. The internal electrode layers contain a metal M and the ceramic composition contains an oxide of the metal M.

A multilayer capacitor includes: a first internal electrode layer including first and second internal electrodes spaced apart from each other with an insulating portion interposed therebetween; a second internal electrode layer including a third internal electrode; a body including the first and second internal electrode layers alternately disposed with respective dielectric layers interposed therebetween; first and second external electrodes disposed on the body to be electrically connected to the first and second internal electrodes, respectively; a connection electrode penetrating through the body to thereby be electrically connected to the third internal electrode; and a third external electrode disposed on the body to be electrically connected to the connection electrode.

The invention relates to a contact part (20) for electrically connecting end-face contact layers on the end faces of a plastic film capacitor winding (10) of an encased electric single-phase or three-phase capacitor to a terminal wire (18, 34) or a connecting wire, comprising a preferably flat contact support with a terminal region for contacting a terminal wire (18, 34) or a connecting wire; comprising at least one contact piece (26) with at least one contact tip, said contact piece (26) extending upwards or downwards from the contact support in a substantially vertical manner, in order to establish an electric connection to an end-face contact layer (12, 14) by pressing the contact tip into said end-face contact layer (12, 14); and comprising a penetration depth-limiting device for limiting the penetration depth of the contact tip or the contact tips in the end-face contact layer (12, 14). The invention also relates to encased single-phase and three-phase capacitors comprising said contact part.

In an embodiment, a multilayer ceramic capacitor 10 is constituted in such a way that four capacitive components C1 to C4 that are connected in series are formed between a first internal electrode layer group 14 and a second internal electrode layer group 15 adjacent to it, wherein, among the four capacitive components C1 to C4, the facing area Sc1 that defines the capacitance value of the capacitive component C1 closest to the first external electrode 12 and the facing area Sc4 that defines the capacitance value of the capacitive component C4 closest to the second external electrode 13 are greater than the facing areas Sc2 and Sc3 that define the capacitance values of the two remaining capacitive components C2 and C3, respectively. The multilayer ceramic capacitor is capable of satisfying the needs for both size reduction and voltage resistance increase.
