Abstract:
1. A ceramic electronic component comprising: a ceramic body including first and second principal surfaces that extend in a length direction and a width direction, first and second side surfaces that extend in a thickness direction and the length direction, and first and second end surfaces that extend in the thickness direction and the width direction; a plurality of inner electrodes provided in the ceramic body; and outer electrodes connected to respective ones of the plurality of the inner electrodes and extending from respective ones of the first and the second end surfaces of the ceramic body to respective ones of the first and the second principal surfaces of the ceramic body and respective ones of the first and the second side surfaces of the ceramic body; wherein each of the outer electrodes includes a baked electrode layer, a resin electrode layer including a conductive material and a resin, and a plating layer that are arranged from the ceramic body side in this order; the conductive material includes first particles having a first shape and second particles having a second shape that is different from the first shape; and a moisture content of the resin electrode layer is about 0.0015 mass % or greater and about 0.005 mass % or less.
