1. A high voltage capacitor comprising:
a pair of capacitors;
a common conductor electrically connected to each of the pair of capacitors; and
a pair of individual conductors electrically connected to a corresponding capacitor of the pair of capacitors,
wherein each of the pair of capacitors comprises:
an element body having a columnar shape with a first direction as an axial direction, and including a first side surface and a second side surface facing away each other in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction;
a first electrode disposed on the first side surface and electrically connected to a corresponding individual conductor of the pair of individual conductors; and
a second electrode disposed on the second side surface and electrically connected to the common conductor,
the pair of capacitors is disposed in such a way that the first electrodes face each other in the second direction, and
the common conductor surrounds the pair of capacitors and the pair of individual conductors when viewed from the first direction,
wherein each of the pair of individual conductors includes a first portion electrically connected to the first electrode and a second portion connected to the first portion with a bent portion interposed between the first portion and the second portion, and
a distance by which the second portions are spaced apart from each other in the second direction is longer than a distance by which the first portions are spaced apart from each other in the second direction.
