Abstract:
1. A multilayer ceramic electronic component, comprising: a ceramic body including dielectric layers, and having first and second main surfaces opposing each other, first and second side surfaces opposing each other, and first and second end surfaces opposing each other, wherein the ceramic body includes a first block including first and second internal electrodes having overlap regions which form a capacitance part for forming capacitance inside the ceramic body while the overlap regions are exposed to the first side surface, each of the first internal electrodes having a first lead out portion extending from the capacitance part so as to be exposed to the first side surface, the second internal electrodes being laminated alternately with the first internal electrodes having the dielectric layers interposed therebetween while being insulated from the first internal electrodes, each of the second internal electrodes having a second lead out portion extending from the capacitance part so as to be exposed to the first side surface, the first lead out portions of the first internal electrodes and the second lead out portions of the second internal electrodes forming a first lead out overlapping region between each other; one or more second blocks each including third and fourth internal electrodes having overlap regions which form a capacitance part for forming capacitance inside the ceramic body, each of the third internal electrodes having a third lead out portion extending from the capacitance part so as to be exposed to the first side surface, the fourth internal electrodes being laminated alternately with the third internal electrodes having the dielectric layers interposed therebetween while being insulated from the third internal electrodes, each of the fourth internal electrodes having a fourth lead out portion extending from the capacitance part so as to be exposed to the first side surface; a first external electrode connected to the first and third lead out portions and a second external electrode connected to the second and fourth lead out portions; and an insulating layer formed on the first side surface of the ceramic body, wherein the second blocks are disposed above and below the first block, and wherein the first lead out overlapping region does not have any overlapping area with the third lead out portion and the fourth lead out portion, and has a width more than half of the overall width of the first or second side surfaces in the extending direction of the dielectric layers.
