Claim 1:
2. The multilayer ceramic capacitor according to claim 1, wherein
the main surface includes a first main surface and a second main surface that oppose each other in the lamination direction;
the lateral surface includes a first lateral surface and a second lateral surface that oppose each other in the width direction;
the laminate includes a first end surface and a second end surface that oppose each other in a length direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the lamination direction and the width direction;
the internal electrode layer includes a first internal electrode layer extending to the first end surface, and a second internal electrode layer extending to the second end surface so as to oppose the first internal electrode layer with the dielectric ceramic layer therebetween;
the external electrode includes a first external electrode disposed on the first end surface and connected to the first internal electrode layer, and a second external electrode disposed on the second end surface and connected to the second internal electrode layer;
the laminate includes the central layer portion in which the first internal electrode layer and the second internal electrode layer are alternately laminated with the dielectric ceramic layer therebetween, and the covering portion including a peripheral layer portion sandwiching the central layer portion in the lamination direction and a side margin sandwiching the central layer portion and the peripheral layer portion in the width direction;
the first external electrode extends from the first end surface of the laminate over a portion of each of the first main surface and the second main surface; and
when viewing the laminate and the first external electrode through a cross-section parallel or substantially parallel to the width direction and the lamination direction at a central portion in the length direction of the first external electrode disposed on the first main surface or the second main surface of the laminate, a maximum value of a dimension in the width direction of the side margin is represented by W1.
