Claim:
1. A multilayer ceramic electronic component, comprising: a ceramic body including dielectric layers; an active part including first and second internal electrodes which are exposed to both end surfaces of the ceramic body in a length direction of the ceramic body and are stacked with at least one of the dielectric layers interposed therebetween, and floating electrodes which alternate with the first and second internal electrodes in a thickness direction of the ceramic body while allowing both end portions thereof to be spaced apart from and overlapped with the first and second internal electrodes in the thickness direction; upper and lower cover parts disposed above and below the active part; dummy electrodes disposed between the dielectric layers within the upper and lower cover parts; and first and second external electrodes provided on both end surfaces of the ceramic body in the length direction and electrically connected to the first and second internal electrodes, respectively, wherein an area of the floating electrode on the dielectric layer is equal to an area of the dummy electrode on the dielectric layer, the first and second external electrodes include band portions which are extended onto upper and lower surfaces of the ceramic body, and a distance between inner edges of the band portions of the first and second external electrodes on the upper or lower surface of the ceramic body is defined as Lc′ and a length of the dummy electrode in the length direction of the ceramic body is defined as Lp, Lc′<Lp is satisfied.
