As shown in fig. 3 to 7, a multilayer ceramic capacitor according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a ceramic body 1 and two terminal electrodes 2 respectively disposed at two ends of the ceramic body 1, the ceramic body 1 being a rectangular parallelepiped; the terminal electrode 2 comprises a first electrode part 21 covering the end face 11 of the ceramic body 1 and second electrode parts 22 extending to four side faces of the ceramic body 1, the tail ends of the two second electrode parts 22 are oppositely arranged, and a distance is reserved between the two second electrode parts; the ceramic body 1 comprises dielectric layers 14 which are arranged in a stacked mode and inner electrodes 15 which are arranged between two adjacent dielectric layers 14, each inner electrode 15 comprises a first inner electrode and a second inner electrode which are arranged alternately, each first inner electrode extends to the side face of the ceramic body 1 to form a first inner electrode leading-out end, each first inner electrode leading-out end is connected with a second electrode part 22 in one terminal electrode 2, and the first inner electrodes are spaced from two end faces of the ceramic body 1; the second internal electrode extends to the side surface of the ceramic body 1 to form a second internal electrode leading-out end, the second internal electrode leading-out end is connected with a second electrode part 22 in the other end electrode 2, the second internal electrode is separated from two end surfaces of the ceramic body 1, and the shortest distance between the internal electrode 15 and the end surface 11 of the ceramic body 1 is preferably 5-10% of the length of the ceramic body 1; if the distance is too small, a gap is likely to occur in the end face 11, and the plating solution penetrates from the gap to the inner electrode 15.
The terminal electrode 2 is covered with an insulating layer 3, the insulating layer 3 comprises a first insulating part 31 arranged on the first electrode part 21 and a second insulating part 32 covered on the second electrode part 22, and the second insulating part 32 extends to the side surface of the ceramic body 1; a connecting via hole is formed in the middle of the first insulating portion 31, a conductive layer 4 covers the first insulating portion 31, a connecting portion 41 matched with the connecting via hole is convexly formed in the middle of the conductive layer 4, and the purpose of arranging the conductive layer 4 is to form electric connection with the terminal electrode 2 and metalize the first insulating portion 31 so as to prepare a welding layer 5 on a region corresponding to the first insulating portion 31; the conducting layer 4 is covered with a welding layer 5, and the welding layer 5 is used for improving the welding performance of the multilayer ceramic capacitor.

Illustratively, the material of the terminal electrode 2 is copper; the thickness of the terminal electrode 2 is preferably 5 to 60 μm; if the thickness of the terminal electrode 2 is too small, the continuity of the copper layer becomes poor to be conductive, and if the thickness of the terminal electrode 2 is too large, it is not good to reduce the volume of the multilayer ceramic capacitor.

As shown in fig. 8, the penetration path of the plating solution in the multilayer ceramic capacitor in this embodiment is indicated by an arrow in fig. 8, and the dotted line frame indicates that the penetration of the plating solution into the position causes a decrease in the insulation resistance, and the penetration path of the plating solution is long, and the plating solution cannot reach the inner electrode terminals exposed on the first side surface of the ceramic body 1, so that the decrease in the insulation resistance of the multilayer ceramic capacitor is not caused. As shown in fig. 2, the penetration path of the plating solution during electroplating of the conventional multilayer ceramic capacitor is indicated by an arrow in fig. 2, and the dotted line frame indicates that the penetration of the plating solution to the position causes the insulation resistance to be reduced.

In other embodiments, the soldering layer 5 is a single metal layer, and the material of the soldering layer 5 is one of tin, gold, or silver; the thickness of the welding layer 5 is 5-10 μm.
As shown in fig. 1, the schematic structural diagram of the multilayer ceramic capacitor of the prior art welded to the circuit board 6 ', four side surfaces of the multilayer ceramic capacitor of the prior art can be used as welding surfaces, and since the whole outer layer of the terminal electrode 2 ' is a tin layer, the soldering tin 62 ' can enter the lower part of the multilayer ceramic capacitor to jack up the multilayer ceramic capacitor, so that the installation position of the multilayer ceramic capacitor becomes high, and the space saving for the whole machine is not facilitated.
As shown in fig. 7, a schematic structural diagram of the multilayer ceramic capacitor according to the embodiment of the present invention soldered to a circuit board 6 is shown, four side surfaces of the multilayer ceramic capacitor according to the embodiment of the present invention can be used as soldering surfaces, and the conductive layer 4 and the soldering layer 5 do not cover the second insulating portion 32, so that when the multilayer ceramic capacitor is soldered to the circuit board 6, the second insulating portion 32 can be in direct contact with a pad 61 and is not coated with tin, and a soldering tin 62 can be prevented from entering below, thereby reducing the mounting height of the multilayer ceramic capacitor and saving space for the whole machine; further, the solder layer 5 completely covers the first insulating layer 31, that is, the solder layer 5 covers the peripheral area of the end face of the multilayer ceramic capacitor, so that the solder 62 is easily attached to the end face of the multilayer ceramic capacitor, and a good soldering effect is achieved. Meanwhile, after the multilayer ceramic capacitor is welded on the circuit board 6, the bonding pad 61, the soldering tin 62, the welding layer 5, the conducting layer 4, the terminal electrode 2 and the inner electrode 15 form a conducting path in sequence, and the multilayer ceramic capacitor is guaranteed to play a circuit function.
Illustratively, the material of the insulating layer 3 is ceramic or resin, and the thickness of the insulating layer 3 is 5 μm to 20 μm; if the thickness of the insulating layer 3 is too small, the effect of preventing the plating solution from penetrating is not good, and if the thickness of the insulating layer 3 is too large, it is not good to reduce the volume of the multilayer ceramic capacitor. Further, the shortest distance between the outer peripheral edge of the connecting via hole in the middle of the first insulating portion 31 and the outer peripheral edge of the end surface 11 of the ceramic body 1 close to the connecting via hole is 20% to 90% of the distance between the two second side surfaces 13; if the distance is too small, the plating solution penetration preventing effect is insufficient, and if the distance is too large, the connection via hole is too small, and the contact resistance between the terminal electrode 2 and the conductive layer 4 increases.
Illustratively, the material of the conductive layer 4 is one of copper, nickel, copper-nickel alloy, nickel-chromium alloy, nickel-vanadium alloy, titanium-tungsten alloy or indium-gallium alloy; the thickness of the conductive layer 4 is 0.1 μm to 0.5 μm, and if the thickness of the conductive layer 4 is too small, continuity becomes poor and it is not preferable to conduct electricity, and if the thickness of the conductive layer 4 is too large, it is not preferable to reduce the volume of the multilayer ceramic capacitor. Further, the shortest distance between the peripheral edge of the conductive layer 4 and the peripheral edge of the end face 11 of the ceramic body 1 adjacent thereto is less than 20% of the distance between the two second side faces 13, so that tin is applied to the end face 11 when the multilayer ceramic capacitor is soldered. In the present embodiment, the conductive layer 4 completely covers the first insulating portion 31.

To sum up, the welding layer 5 of the embodiment of the present invention is disposed at a position facing the end surface 11 of the ceramic body 1, and the inner electrode 15 is led out from the side surface of the ceramic body 1, and meanwhile, the terminal electrode 2 of the corresponding region is completely covered by the insulating layer 3 or the leading-out end of the inner electrode 15 is completely covered by the insulating layer 3, so that the plating solution cannot directly permeate, if the plating solution is to permeate into the leading-out end of the inner electrode 15, the plating solution can only enter from the region where the terminal electrode 2 is not covered by the insulating layer 3, the permeation direction of the plating solution can only be along the layer surface of the terminal electrode 2, and the region where the terminal electrode 2 is not covered by the insulating layer 3 is far away from the leading-out end of the inner electrode 15, so that the permeation surface of the plating solution is narrow and the permeation path is long, and therefore the plating solution cannot reach the leading-out end of the inner electrode 15 of the ceramic body 1, and the situation that the insulation resistance of the multilayer ceramic capacitor is decreased due to the plating solution permeating into the leading-out end of the inner electrode 15 of the ceramic body 1 can be avoided; the second insulating part 32 is not covered by the conductive layer 4 and the soldering layer 5, so that when the multilayer ceramic capacitor is soldered to the circuit board 6, the second insulating part 32 can be in direct contact with the pad 61 and is not coated with tin, and the soldering tin 62 can be prevented from entering the lower part, thereby reducing the mounting height of the multilayer ceramic capacitor and effectively saving space; meanwhile, the welding layer 5, the conductive layer 4, the terminal electrode 2 and the inner electrode 15 sequentially form a conductive path, so that the electrical parameters of the multilayer ceramic capacitor can be measured only by contacting the welding layer 5 with a test probe, and automatic electrical performance sorting can be realized.
In the description of the present invention, it is to be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connected" are to be interpreted broadly, e.g., as being fixed or detachable or integrally connected; can be mechanically or electrically connected; they may be connected directly or indirectly through intervening media, or they may be interconnected between two elements.
