1. A multilayer capacitor comprising
a multilayer body as a main body of the multilayer capacitor, in which a plurality of internal electrodes and stacked dielectric layers each interposed between the internal electrodes are disposed and dielectrics are disposed on an outer periphery side of the plural internal electrodes, the multilayer body being formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape with a width dimension of 2 mm or less,
wherein margin portions, in which no internal electrode exists, between end faces of the multilayer body and end portions of the internal electrodes are disposed on both end sides of the internal electrodes respectively, and
wherein a margin ratio which is a ratio of a dimension of each of the margin portions to the width dimension of the multilayer body is set to a percentage within a range of 10% to 25% per one-side margin portion of the multilayer body.
