A capacitor header for coupling a voltage output from a capacitor, which allows the capacitor to store a large amount of charge and then discharge this as a high voltage, while reducing the risk of dielectric breakdown. The capacitor header includes a live output plate connected to a central live conductor of the capacitor and a ground output plate connected to a ground conductor of the capacitor. The capacitor header also includes first and second insulating members, which both have non-planar mating surfaces that interleave to form a non-linear path. An insulating seal is included between the non-planar mating surfaces. The capacitor header also includes two sets of insulating sheets. The sets of insulating sheets extend beyond an outer perimeter of the live output plate and the ground output plate.

A capacitor component includes a body including a dielectric layer and internal electrode layers, with the dielectric layer interposed therebetween; and an external electrode disposed on the body and connected to the internal electrode layers. Each of the internal electrode layers has a capacitance formation portion disposed to overlap an adjacent internal electrode layer, and a lead-out portion extending from the capacitance formation portion and connected to the external electrode. A ratio (H2/H1) of a height difference H2 to a height difference H1 is 0.2 or less, where the height difference H2 is a height difference between the capacitance formation portion and the lead-out portion of a lowermost internal electrode layer the height difference H1 is a height difference between the capacitance formation portion and the lead-out portion of an uppermost internal electrode layer. An average thickness of the dielectric layer is 420 nm or less.
