1. A multilayer ceramic capacitor, comprising:
a ceramic body having:
first and second main surfaces perpendicular to a first axis;
first and second side surfaces perpendicular to a second axis orthogonal to the first axis;
third and fourth side surfaces perpendicular to a third axis orthogonal to the first axis and the second axis;
a first ridge connecting the first and fourth side surfaces;
a second ridge connecting the second and third side surfaces;
a third ridge connecting the first and third side surfaces; and
a fourth ridge connecting the second and fourth side surfaces,
the ceramic body including first and second internal electrodes alternately stacked in a direction of the first axis via ceramic layers in between; and
first and second external electrodes covering the first and second ridges, respectively, of the ceramic body and connected to the first internal electrodes; and
third and fourth external electrodes covering the third and fourth ridges, respectively, of the ceramic body and connected to the second internal electrodes,
wherein a first dimension, which is a maximum dimension of the multilayer ceramic capacitor in the direction of the first axis, is 110 μm or less,
wherein a ratio of a third dimension, which is a maximum dimension of the multilayer ceramic capacitor in a direction of the third axis, to a second dimension, which is a maximum dimension of the multilayer ceramic capacitor in a direction of the second axis, is 0.5 or more and less than 0.85,
wherein the first internal electrode includes a first facing portion facing the second internal electrode in the direction of the first axis; and a pair of first lead-out portions extending obliquely outward from the first facing portion relative to the directions of the second and third axes towards the first and second ridges, respectively, of the ceramic body so as to be connected to the first and second external electrodes,
wherein the second internal electrode includes a second facing portion facing the first facing portion in the direction of the first axis; and a pair of second lead-out portions extending obliquely outward from the second facing portion relative to the directions of the second and third axes towards the third and fourth ridges, respectively, of the ceramic body so as to be connected to the third and fourth external electrodes,
wherein each of the pair of first lead-out portions has a pair of first side edge portions extending outward obliquely relative to the directions of the second and third axes from the first facing portion toward two side surfaces connected by the corresponding first or second ridge, said pair of first side edge portions being substantially parallel to a first diagonal line connecting the first and second ridges as seen along the first axis in a plan view, and
wherein each of the pair of second lead-out portions has a pair of second side edge portions extending outward obliquely relative to the directions of the second and third axes from the second facing portion toward two side surfaces connected by the corresponding third or fourth ridge, said pair of second side edge portions being substantially parallel to a second diagonal line connecting the third and fourth ridges as seen along the first axis in the plan view.
