Abstract:
1. A laminated ceramic electronic component comprising: a ceramic element assembly including a plurality of laminated ceramic layers and having a first principal surface and a second principal surface that face each other, a first lateral surface and a second lateral surface that face each other, and a first end surface and a second end surface that face each other; a first inner electrode that is located in the ceramic element assembly and has a first effective portion, a first led-out portion led out to the first end surface from the first effective portion, and a first exposed portion located at an end of the first led-out portion and exposed to the first end surface; a second inner electrode that is located in the ceramic element assembly and has a second effective portion, a second led-out portion led out to the second end surface from the second effective portion, and a second exposed portion located at an end of the second led-out portion and exposed to the second end surface; a first outer terminal electrode arranged on the first end surface to cover the first exposed portion; and a second outer terminal electrode arranged on the second end surface to cover the second exposed portion; wherein the first and second led-out portions are thicker than the first and second effective portions, respectively; sides that are located at respective ends of the first exposed portion and extend in the ceramic-layer lamination direction are substantially in parallel to the first and second lateral surfaces; and sides that are located at respective ends of the second exposed portion and extend in the ceramic-layer lamination direction are substantially in parallel to the first and second lateral surfaces.
