Abstract:
1. A ceramic electronic component comprising: a ceramic body including first and second principal surfaces, first and second side surfaces, and first and second end surfaces; a first internal electrode provided in the ceramic body and extending in a direction from the first end surface; and a second internal electrode provided in the ceramic body so as to be opposed to the first internal electrode with a ceramic layer interposed therebetween, the second internal electrode extending in the direction from the second end surface; wherein the first internal electrode comprises: the first extraction section includes a first thick section thicker than a first central section of the first opposed section; the first opposed section includes a first base end section opposed to a second tip section of the second internal electrode closer to the first end surface, with the ceramic layers interposed therebetween; the first base end section includes a first thin section thinner than the first central section; the second internal electrode comprises: the second extraction section includes a second thick section thicker than a second central section of the second opposed section; the second opposed section includes a second base end section opposed to a first tip section of the first internal electrode closer to the second end surface, with the ceramic layers interposed therebetween; the second base end section includes a second thin section thinner than the second central section; the second tip section includes a third thick section thicker than the second central section; the third thick section is opposed to the first thin section with the ceramic layer interposed therebetween; and a minimum thickness of the first thin section is about 0.6 times or more and about 0.95 times or less than a thickness of the first central section of the first opposed section.
