Claim 4:
5. The ceramic electronic component according to claim 1,
wherein the element body further has a front surface and a rear surface that are perpendicular to said side surfaces and the upper and lower surfaces, thereby the element body having a generally cuboid shape,
wherein the base layer of each of the external electrodes continuously covers the corresponding side surface as well as respective portions of the upper and lower surfaces and the front and rear surfaces of the element body that are connected to the side surface,
wherein the insulating layer continuously covers the upper surface and respective upper portions of the side surfaces and the front and rear surfaces of the element body that are connected to the upper surface, the insulating layer being absent on the lower surface, and
wherein the plating layer of each of the external electrodes continuously covers the portion of the lower surface of the element body and respective lower portions of the corresponding side surface and the front and rear surfaces that are connected to the portion of the lower surface.
