Abstract:
A monolithic ceramic electronic component comprisingan electronic component body having a rectangular shape specified by a longitudinal dimension, widthwise dimension, and a thickness-wise dimension, and first and second external electrodes formed on the opposite end-faces in the longitudinal direction of said electronic component body, respectively, said electronic component body comprising plural dielectric layers laminated in the state that the layers are extended in parallel to a plane specified by the longitudinal dimension and the widthwise dimension of said electronic component body, and plural sets of first and second internal electrodes opposed to each other through specific ones of said dielectric layers, the first internal electrodes of said plural sets of internal electrodes being electrically connected to the first external electrodes, and the second internal electrodes thereof being electrically connected to the second external electrode, the first and second internal electrodes being alternately disposed with respect to each other the longitudinal dimension and the widthwise dimension of said electronic component body being at least four times the thickness-wise dimension thereof, respectively, and the longitudinal dimension and the widthwise dimension of said electronic component body are at least 10 mm, respectively.
