Abstract:
1. A multilayer ceramic electronic component comprising: a ceramic element body including first and second main surfaces extending in a length direction and a width direction, first and second side surfaces extending in the length direction and a thickness direction, and first and second end surfaces extending in the width direction and the thickness direction; first and second inner electrodes that are alternately disposed within the ceramic element body in the thickness direction and that are not positioned at an end portion of the ceramic element body in the width direction; a first outer electrode that is electrically connected to the first inner electrodes and extends from the first end surface to the first and second main surfaces; and a second outer electrode that is electrically connected to the second inner electrodes and extends from the second end surface to the first and second main surfaces; wherein a size of a step portion on the first main surface and a size of a step portion on the second main surface are different from each other; the first outer electrode includes a plating film containing Cu; and a length of a portion of the plating film containing Cu that is positioned on the first main surface in the length direction and a length of a portion of the plating film containing Cu that is positioned on the second main surface in the length direction are different from each other.
