1. A multilayer capacitor, comprising:
a capacitor body including first and second surfaces opposing each other in a first direction, third and fourth surfaces opposing each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and fifth and sixth surfaces opposing each other in a third direction perpendicular to the second direction, a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of first and second internal electrodes alternately disposed with respective dielectric layers interposed therebetween in the first direction; and
first and second external electrodes disposed on the capacitor body and electrically connected to the first and second internal electrodes, respectively;
wherein the first and second internal electrodes are disposed to be offset in the first direction,
wherein a first plurality of the first and second internal electrodes is disposed to be closer to the fifth surface than the sixth surface in the third direction, a second plurality of the first and second internal electrodes is disposed to be closer to the sixth surface than the fifth surface in the third direction, and a third plurality of the first and second internal electrodes is disposed in a central region in the third direction,
wherein internal electrodes among the first and second internal electrodes, disposed to be closer to the fifth or sixth surface in the third direction, include an even number of another two or more internal electrodes disposed therebetween in the first direction and offset therefrom in the third direction, and
wherein the even number of another two or more internal electrodes includes at least one first internal electrode and at least one second internal electrode.
