Claim Text:
1. A monolithic ceramic electronic component comprising: a ceramic laminate body including dielectric ceramic layers and internal electrodes that are alternately stacked, the ceramic laminate body including an upper surface, a lower surface, two side surfaces, and two end surfaces that are perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the upper surface, the lower surface, and the two side surfaces; and an outer electrode arranged at least over one of the end surfaces and connected to the internal electrodes; wherein the outer electrode includes a solder-repellent portion and a solder-receivable portion; when the monolithic ceramic electronic component is viewed from the end surface over which the outer electrode is arranged, the ceramic laminate body includes a main laminate portion and a margin portion provided around the main laminate portion, the main laminate portion including the dielectric ceramic layers and the internal electrodes that are alternately stacked; when the monolithic ceramic electronic component is viewed from the end surface over which the outer electrode is arranged, an area of the solder-repellent portion is larger than an area of the main laminate portion; the outer electrode covers a portion of the ceramic laminate body, the portion of the ceramic laminate body extending from the end surface over which the outer electrode is arranged to portions of the upper surface, the lower surface, and the two side surfaces; when the monolithic ceramic electronic component is viewed from one of the two side surfaces over which the outer electrode is arranged, the solder-repellent portion extends over a portion of the outer electrode provided on the one of the two side surfaces over which the outer electrode is arranged; and the solder-repellent portion is adhered to a portion of the one of the two side surfaces over which the outer electrode is arranged.
