Claim Text:
1. A multilayer ceramic electronic component, comprising: a ceramic body including dielectric layers, and having first and second main surfaces opposing each other, first and second side surfaces opposing each other, and first and second end surfaces opposing each other; first and second internal electrodes having overlap regions forming a capacitance part for forming capacitance inside the ceramic body, the first internal electrodes respectively having a first lead out portion extended from the capacitance part so as to be exposed to the first side surface, the second internal electrodes being alternately laminated with the first internal electrodes with the dielectric layers interposed therebetween while being insulated from the first internal electrodes, and the second internal electrodes respectively having a second lead out portion extended from the capacitance part so as to be exposed to the first side surface; first and second external electrodes connected with the first and second lead out portions, respectively; and an insulating layer formed on the first side surface of the ceramic body and between the first and second external electrodes, and covering an exposed portion of the first lead out portion, wherein a length of the first lead out portion in a length direction of the ceramic body is longer than a length of the second lead out portion in the length direction of the ceramic body, and the first lead out portion and the second lead out portion do not overlap each other, wherein the length of the first lead out portion is less than a length of the capacitance part of the first internal electrode in the length direction and the length of the second lead out portion is less than a length of the capacitance part of the second internal electrode in the length direction, and wherein the capacitance part includes at least two regions having different distances from the first side surface.
