Claim Text:
1. A multilayer ceramic electronic component comprising: a ceramic body including a plurality of internal electrodes and a plurality of dielectric layers; and an external electrode including an electrode layer disposed on an outer surface of the ceramic body to be connected to the internal electrodes, a conductive resin layer disposed on the electrode layer and containing a plurality of metal particles and a base resin, and a plating layer disposed on the conductive resin layer, wherein in the case that a shortest distance from a point at which among the internal electrodes, an outermost internal electrode in the stacking direction and the electrode layer are connected to each other to an outer surface of the external electrode is defined as a, a virtual straight line forming the shortest distance is present, a distance of a region of the straight line passing through the conductive resin layer is defined as b, a distance of a region of the straight line passing through the electrode layer is defined as c, and a sum of distances of regions of the straight line passing through the metal particles contained in the conductive resin layer is defined as bm, 0.250≦{(2b+c)/a}×{1−(bm/b)}
