Abstract:
1. A multilayer ceramic electronic component, comprising: a ceramic body including a plurality of dielectric layers stacked therein; a plurality of internal electrodes alternately exposed to both end surfaces of the ceramic body, having the dielectric layer interposed therebetween; and external electrodes formed on the end surfaces of the ceramic body and electrically connected to the internal electrodes, respectively, wherein connectivity of the internal electrode, represented by the following expression, is equal to or greater than 87%: wherein in which an active region is a region including the dielectric layers and the internal electrodes, contributing to formation of capacitance in the ceramic body, and connectivity of central portion/connectivity of upper and lower portions is a ratio of connectivity of the internal electrode of a central portion of the active region to that of upper and lower portions thereof.
